The 2018 NFL Draft saw five quarterbacks selected in the first round, the second-highest total all-time behind the ‘83 and ‘24 drafts (six each). The Cleveland Browns entered the draft with their second straight first-overall pick after a historically bad 0-16 campaign in 2017. Cleveland selected Oklahoma quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Baker Mayfield, hoping to finish their never-ending QB search. Later that night, Baltimore traded back into the first round, selecting the last guy in the green room, another Heisman-winning quarterback, Lamar Jackson.
Since entering the league, Jackson and Mayfield have met in nine head-to-head matchups, with Lamar having the upper hand 6-3.
