Five Quarterbacks Selected in the First Round of the NFL Draft, the Second Highest Number After 1983
Josh Allen Among the Five Quarterbacks Drafted in the First Round
Allen Selected Seventh Overall by the Buffalo Bills
The 2018 NFL Draft saw a record number of quarterbacks selected in the first round, with five players taken. This is the second highest number of first-round quarterback selections in NFL history, after the six selected in 1983. The five quarterbacks taken in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft were Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Josh Allen, Josh Rosen, and Lamar Jackson.
Josh Allen was selected seventh overall by the Buffalo Bills. Allen played college football at Wyoming, where he was a bowl game MVP. He is a raw and young prospect, but has shown flashes of brilliance. The Bills are hoping that Allen can be their franchise quarterback for the future.
Allen is one of the most physically gifted quarterbacks in the draft. He has a strong arm and is a good runner. He also has good size, standing at 6'5" and weighing 237 pounds. However, Allen is still a bit of a raw prospect. He needs to improve his accuracy and decision-making. He also needs to get stronger in the pocket.
Despite his flaws, Allen has the potential to be a very good quarterback. He has all the physical tools to succeed, and he has shown that he can make plays. The Bills are hoping that Allen can develop into their franchise quarterback. Only time will tell if he can reach his potential.
