You want a really shocking stat? Well, kind of shocking, anyway...

Ki-Jana Carter went #1 overall in 1995. Since then, 15 QBs have been selected at #1 overall.

Currently, in terms of all-time #1 overall picks since 1936, QBs lead all positions. There have been 33 QBs drafted #1 overall.

The second most-selected position at #1 overall? RB. With 23.

If you do the math, that means that in 1995, RBs were historically the most drafted #1 overall pick, and led QBs 23-18

Eric Fisher is more of a rare breed than you might think, too. Drafting OTs #1 overall really hasn't been that historically common.

If you don't count Jake Long and Orlando Pace, the last OT to be taken #1 overall was Ron Yary in 1968. And there haven't been any OTs taken before him (at least not in terms of our modern conception of the position).

The running game was a big deal in the past, and the running back had more touches than the quarterback. Heck, a center was an MVP once in the 1940s. That's a commitment to the run game if I ever heard one.

Quenton Nelson may be the rarest breed of all. Has there been a modern-era guard taken in the top five before him? It's possible, but I'm not sure who it would be.

I guess Ray Guy is the rarest of them all. Stupid Raiders.

Nelson went 6th overall. Brandon Scherff was drafted as a tackle, but has played guard for most of his career, and he was taken 5th overall in 2015.

Hmm, apparently there have been 4 since 1970. Bill Fralic in 1985, and then Ken Huff, John Hannah, and John Hicks in the 1970s.

There were six top-five guards in the 1960s, though we had a split draft for part of that, and two in the 1940s.

Oh, I was thinking he went 5th. Never mind.

The last top-five center was Bob Johnson in 1968. It's time for another one.

Apparently the Falcons had QB in the 70s named Dick Shiner, beat that name.

It's a weird mindset. If you're a good enough corner, nobody will ever throw the ball your way. If you don't get the ball thrown at well hard to make a play on the ball.
