What Happened to the 31 Players Drafted Before Lamar Jackson?

This was a pretty killer draft class honestly

15 of the 32 players made at least 1 pro bowl thats insane.

You should do the 261 players drafted before purdy 😂

It’s crazy we really got 2 top 10 picks in the 2018 draft, Lamar at 32 and then a few years later trading for Roquan Smith for a second round pick. Absolutely amazing work by the Ravens!

Browns woulda ruined Lamar. Thank God they didn’t take him

Imagine looking back at how insane this draft class was and realizing you took Josh Rosen

Damn Sony Michel was decent . His career was short but he played a big role in those patriot superbowls

The amount of defensive talent in the 1st round was insane

The Lamar hate is baffling, the man has never committed any crimes, never said anything negative about anyone, never cheated his team in effort. All he does is be super competitive, productive and a model citizen. Goes to show some people just don’t get liked even if they do everything right.

This draft was damn good.. The Ravens currently have both the best linebacker in the league and QB...both from this draft.

Sony Michel is the biggest winner with 2 superbowl ring

Forgot how stacked this draft was. Lamar fell perfectly he fits Baltimore to a tee

Absolutely stacked first round, there were a few misses but can anyone think of a first round in the last few decades as good as that years. Insane the amount of potential HoFers.

Can't wait for the "What happened to the 261 players picked before Brock Purdy"

What an absolutely loaded draft.

So they just gone put Lamar in the HOF cause he can run the ball huh ? Steve McNair was the MVP of the league w/over 30k passing yards w/174 TD’s & he could scramble but he not in the HOF & McNair went to the Superbowl the NFL is like the WWE they promote who df they want sh** is a joke

this draft was so insane

idk but based on this hindsight, my top 5 would be: 1) Josh Allen 2) Roquan Smith 3) Minkah Fitzpatrick 4) Lamar Jackson 5) Denzel Ward

Incredible how many talented players were drafted in the 2018 NFL draft! So many stars on both offense and defense who have massive impact on the NFL nowadays! Not just Lamar!

I think there are a lot of teams and situations where Lamar would have failed had he been drafted there. If he were drafted to the Jets instead of Darnold, I don't think he would be the Lamar we know today. Harbaugh was able and willing to work around his unique skillset, and was willing to build a team around him that complimented those skills. I think MANY coaches and coordinators in the NFL wouldn't have been able to do that. Honestly, this is probably one of the best first rounds overall that we've seen in the past couple decades. Only a handful are true busts (lmao Rosen), half of them are star players, and the rest fall in the range from solid starters to top 10 in their positions.
