• This was the second time in the common draft era that six quarterbacks were taken in the first round (1983), tying the record for the most; this is also the first time we've seen six quarterbacks taken in the first 12 picks.
• This was the first time in the common draft era that four quarterbacks were taken in the first eight picks.
• This was the first time in the common draft era that five quarterbacks were taken in the top ten picks.
• This is the fourth time in the common draft era that the first three overall picks were quarterbacks (2021, 1999, 1971).
• With Caleb Williams going first overall, USC now has the most first-overall picks of any school all-time with six — breaking a tie with Georgia, Notre Dame, and Oklahoma.
• The first 14 picks were offensive players, the most consecutive offensive picks to start a draft in the common draft era; the previous record was seven.

Wow, so the 14 O players may be a record that stands for a century!
