NFL Draft History No. 1 Picks

Looking at the recent NFL Draft History, quarterbacks have been selected first in five of the last six drafts and nine of the last 12 going back to 2009.

NFL No. 1 Draft History (2009-2020)

  • 2020 - Joe Burrow, QB, Cincinnati Bengals
  • 2019 - Kyler Murray, QB, Arizona Cardinals
  • 2018 - Baker Mayfield, QB, Cleveland Browns
  • 2017 - Myles Garrett, DE, Cleveland Browns
  • 2016 - Jared Goff, QB, Los Angeles Rams
  • 2015 - Jameis Winston, QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
  • 2014 - Jadeveon Clowney, DE, Houston Texans
  • 2013 - Eric Fisher, T, Kansas City Chiefs
  • 2012 - Andrew Luck, QB, Indianapolis Colts
  • 2011 - Cam Newton, QB, Carolina Panthers
  • 2010 - Sam Bradford, QB, St. Louis Rams
  • 2009 - Matthew Stafford, QB, Detroit Lions

A quarterback has been taken with the No. 1 overall pick in five of the last six drafts. Myles Garrett of the Cleveland Browns was the lone exception within that time span.

The No. 1 overall pick has been a quarterback or a lineman in each of the last 24 drafts, making it highly unlikely that a running back, receiver, linebacker, or defensive back will be the first player whose name we hear on April 29 in Cleveland, Ohio.
