Could no quarterbacks be taken in the first round?

Jets, Browns, Saints and even Raiders are desperately in need of a franchise QB. They will all be fighting for draft position to land Mendoza and Simpson
If Mendoza gets drafted by a ****ty team his chance for a successful NFL career will be when he is traded to a good team a few years later as a backup. That probably goes for almost all college QBs drafted by bad teams.
That's not entirely true. Caleb Williams is doing pretty well now with Ben Johnson at the helm
The Jets are in the most need and then probably the Raiders, although Geno could QB 2-3 more years. I don't think the Saints and Browns are giving up on their rookies yet.
Will see how Shedeur looks this week, but it's clear Dillon Gabriel isn't the Browns starter. With the Saints, will see how Tyler Shough will be consistent or if it was just a flash in the pan. He's also 26, so not a very long prime at this rate
Flacco looked terrible on the Browns and good on the Bengals. Something smells there. It is too early to tell if Gabriel is a good QB or not. Of course, they could draft a round 1 QB if they feel that saves their jobs longer.
