The Steelers picked a quarterback in the first round. Where did the others go?

Scouts and analysts said this quarterback class was underwhelming, and the NFL agreed. After Pittsburgh’s Kenny Pickett went No. 20 to the Steelers, the next quarterback off the board was Cincinnati’s Desmond Ridder at No. 74 overall to the Atlanta Falcons in the third round. It is the latest a second quarterback has come off the board in a single draft since 1996.

Here’s how the QB class shook out:

Round 1, No. 20: Pittsburgh’s Kenny Pickett to Steelers
Round 3, No. 74: Cincinnati’s Desmond Ridder to Falcons
Round 3, No. 86: Liberty’s Malik Willis to Titans
Round 3, No. 94: Ole Miss’ Matt Corral to Panthers
Round 4, No. 137: Western Kentucky’s Bailey Zappe to Patriots
Round 5, No. 144: North Carolina’s Sam Howell to Commanders
Round 7, No. 241: South Dakota State’s Chris Oladokun to Steelers
Round 7, No. 247: Kansas State’s Skylar Thompson to Dolphins
Round 7, No. 262 (“Mr. Irrelevant”): Iowa State’s Brock Purdy to 49ers
