    With Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa and Justin Herbert all being selected early, it is the sixth NFL draft since 1967 with at least three quarterbacks chosen in the top 10. Four went in the top 10 in 2018 - Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Josh Allen and Josh Rosen.

    Could a fourth QB go in this year's first round? Jordan Love is still on the board.

    Like Eli Manning, John Elway engineered a trade after being the top pick by the Baltimore Colts. And it may have taken a while but he ended up winning two straight Super Bowls with the Denver Broncos in the late 90s.

    Jim Kelly led the Buffalo Bills to a record four straight Super Bowls in the early 90s, although they lost them all, while Dan Marino was another legendary quarterback not to win a Super Bowl.

    Running back Eric Dickerson, who was picked second, also made it into the Hall of Fame, along with Bruce Matthews and Darrell Green, so that meant a whopping six first-round picks from the 1983 class ended up with gold jackets.

    When will we see it? NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said tonight that the league schedule will be confirmed in a few weeks' time and, as it stands, they believe the regular season will still start as initially planned on 10 September.

  12. Broncos trade up to take Tebowpublished at 03:55 British Summer Time 24 April 2020

    Memorable draft moments: 2010

    The Denver Broncos pulled off a surprise in 2010 by trading up to the first round to take someone who wasn't expected to go until at least the third round.

    Although quarterback Tim Tebow had been a success at college, there were doubts over whether he had the technical ability to establish himself in the NFL.

    Tebow started most of Denver's games in 2011 and during a thrilling run he steered them to four comeback wins. During that run 'Tebowing' became a thing. A devout Christian, he often knelt on the field to pray in a trademark pose.

    But eventually his shortcomings were exposed. That off-season free agent Peyton Manning joined Denver, with whom he won his second Super Bowl in 2015, while Tebow was traded to the New York Jets and was out of the league soon after. Now 32, Tebow has been playing minor league baseball since 2016.

    New Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor comes from solid NFL stock. Dad Montae, a defensive tackle, spent nine years in the league, winning a Super Bowl ring with the Colts. He also had spells with the Broncos and the Eagles - and is currently a coaching intern in Philly.

  16. Vegas to host 2022 draftpublished at 03:41 British Summer Time 24 April 2020

    Commissioner Roger Goodell has announced tonight that the NFL will be recommitting to Las Vegas for the 87th annual draft in 2022.

    This comes after the 2020 public draft events in Vegas were cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

    Sin City was initially chosen to host the draft to coincide with the Raiders relocating from Oakland to a big shiny new stadium on the Strip.

    So hopefully we will see a draft stage over water at the Bellagio hotel fountains after all.

    The Las Vegas Raiders strengthened the offense with their first pick - now it's the turn of the defence with cornerback Damon Arnette from Ohio State. This is a bit of a surprise - he wasn't expected to go this early.
