In the past 10 drafts, there were six QBs, three DL, and one OL selected first.What another wild week of football we just had over the weekend as we head into rivalry week and the final regular season week of college football while wrapping up the NFL week with our Cleveland Browns defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers. 1 overall who wasn't either a QB or a lineman. WR Keyshawn Johnson (1996) was the last player drafted No. Since 2001, 17 of the 23 players drafted first were quarterbacks. If he can do so, he'll be a clear top-10 pick and maybe compete for the top spot. It's been a while since Texas seriously competed in the Big 12, and the former top recruit like Ewers has a chance to get them back to national relevance. In 10 games, he passed for 15 touchdowns and 2,177 yards. He's already held off the hyped Archie Manning for the Longhorns' QB1 role and looked great when healthy last year. But, if there's one QB in this draft class I think has the potential to overtake or push Williams, it's Texas' Quinn Ewers.

Barring some unforeseen regression or a major injury, Williams will be the top pick in next years draft and a potential franchise QB for whatever squad is bad enough to land the top pick. The only reason USC didn't make the College Football Playoff with Williams at the helm was a suspect defense. The reigning Heisman winner (and favorite to repeat) looks an awful lot like Patrick Mahomes so far in his college career, racking up an efficient 4,500 yards, 42 touchdowns, and five interceptions in 14 games last season. The NFL draft odds are pretty clear, USC QB Caleb Williams is basically a lock to go first overall next summer.
