Two quarterbacks were selected in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft on Thursday night.
The Las Vegas Raiders, as expected, picked Indiana's Fernando Mendoza No. 1 overall. And in a surprise, the Los Angeles Rams took Ty Simpson out of Alabama with the 13th pick.
Those were generally assumed to be the first two QBs off the board, and they were.
