WHERE ARE THEY NOW: All of the quarterbacks taken in the 2018 NFL Draft
The 2018 NFL Draft was considered one of the best classes of quarterbacks, with four QBs vying for the No. 1 pick.
Five quarterbacks were taken in the first round, led by Baker Mayfield, and 13 were drafted overall.
Three of the first four QBs drafted are now on new teams, and others are out of football entirely. Here's where they are today.
Baker Mayfield went No. 1 overall to the Browns, winning what had been a big debate over who should go first in the draft.
After a strong rookie season, Mayfield's career in Cleveland flat-lined. He was traded to the Panthers this off-season and for now, appears to be their starting quarterback.
Sam Darnold was taken third overall by the Jets.
Darnold had his moments in New York, but was ultimately a disappointment, completing 59.8% of his passes and posting a 78 passer rating. He is now on the Panthers and has — for now — lost the starting job to Mayfield.
Josh Allen went to the Buffalo Bills with the seventh pick.
Despite a shaky start to his career, Allen is now a superstar. He looks poised to have the Bills in contention to make the Super Bowl.
Josh Rosen went to the Cardinals with the 10th overall pick.
After an unsuccessful rookie season, Rosen has bounced around the league, playing for the Dolphins and Falcons. He is currently on the Browns.
Lamar Jackson was taken by the Ravens with the last pick of the first round.
Jackson has become a star for the Ravens, winning MVP in 2019. He and the Ravens are still negotiating a contract extension, however, leaving his future in question.
Mason Rudolph was the next quarterback taken in the draft, going to the Steelers in the third round, with the 76th overall pick.
Rudolph is still with the Steelers. He has thrown for 2,366 yards, 16 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions in 10 career starts.
Kyle Lauletta was drafted by the Giants in the fourth round.
After appearing in two games with the Giants in 2018, Lauletta spent some time with the Browns and Jaguars. He is now in the USFL with the New Jersey Generals.
Mike White was drafted to the Cowboys in the fifth round, with the 118th overall pick.
White is now with the Jets. He has only appeared in four games, but he set an NFL record in his first career start last season by completing 82% of his passes for 37 total completions.
The Titans drafted Luke Falk with the 199th pick in the sixth round.
Falk appeared in three games with the Jets in 2019, throwing three interceptions and no touchdowns. He played in the CFL in 2021 and now works with 4QB Training, a passing academy.
The Jaguars drafted Tanner Lee with the 203rd pick overall. Lee never appeared in a regular season game. He is now a Learning and Quality Manager at an Amazon Fulfillment Center, according to his LinkedIn.

The Patriots selected Danny Etling in the seventh round, 219th overall.
Etling hasn't appeared in a regular season game and has bounced around the NFL, spending time with the Falcons, Seahawks, Vikings, and Jaguars. He is now on the Packers.
Alex McGough was drafted by the Seahawks with the 220th overall pick.
McGough bounced around the NFL and never appeared in a regular season game. He is now in the USFL and helped the Birmingham Stallions win the 2022 championship.
Logan Woodside was drafted by the Bengals with the 249th overall pick.
Woodside is with the Titans today as a backup. He has thrown three passes in the NFL and rushed 13 times for four yards.
