NFL's offense bonanza: Quarterbacks selected at record pace
Quarterbacks were selected at a record pace — six of the first 12 picks — in the first round of last night's NFL Draft.
Why it matters: It's one of the most offense-heavy first rounds in the draft's history. No defensive player was selected until the 15th pick.
- Caleb Williams, the Heisman Trophy-winning QB from USC, was picked first overall by the Chicago Bears.
- The next two picks were also quarterbacks: LSU's Jayden Daniels was picked by the Washington Commanders, and UNC's Drake Maye went to New England.
- Here's every pick so far.
Between the lines: Williams was spotted at Babo Detroit on Woodward Avenue for lunch and card games, Axios Detroit's Samuel Robinson reported.
- "This place has been really great," Williams told Axios when asked his favorite thing about Detroit so far. "It's good food, bro. Tasty, it's a vibe."
- "This has been fun, I've been seeing all the athletes and everything — I'm excited."
