Six QBs were picked so early because this is a historic class — and because of the NFL's salary-cap ramifications.
The quarterback picks came raining in, one after another after another, with barely a moment's pause and then a bunch more. This year's crop broke records, created history and gave us the most easy-to-understand lesson there could possibly be about the economics of winning in the National Football League. The fact that a whopping six signal-callers were picked in the first 12 selections was a coincidence of timing … and was also anything but.
edge rusher Laiatu Latu went to Indianapolis with the 15th pick, the lowest position for the first defender in draft history. By the time Latu was plucked from the green room, a couple of hours of ceremonial action had already passed. With such a QB glut, good players capable of making an immediate impact were being pushed down the board. The Philadelphia Eagles had the cornerback position as a primary need, and could afford to wait until their No. 22 position to pick up Quinyon Mitchell.
