The top of the draft Thursday night was dominated by quarterbacks, and while Caleb Williams going No. 1 to the Chicago Bears was no surprise, there was some suspense about who would go second to the Washington Commanders.

Washington chose LSU's Jayden Daniels while North Carolina's Drake Maye went third to the New England Patriots.

Recent history suggests those QBs will not be brought along gradually. Of the 23 quarterbacks drafted in the top five in the previous 15 years, 17 of them started in Week 1, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
