Why quarterbacks in 2024 NFL Draft look a lot like 2020 class featuring Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert

NFL teams are perpetually desperate for quarterbacks, but they still have their limitations. Drafts with four, five, or even more quarterbacks taken in Round 1 are far from a regular occurrence, but this year's draft has a chance to rival some of the best quarterback-rich classes of all-time in terms of how early signal-callers are selected. The 2021 quarterback class won't go down as a strong one, but it flashed rare strength on draft night with five passers taken in the top 15 picks. The year before was similarly strong, with four first-round quarterbacks and another notable second-rounder.
