Perspective signals

Claim 1: “Quarterbacks dominate the early picks in every NFL draft.”
DISPUTED
The claim that quarterbacks dominate early picks in 'every' NFL draft is contradicted by the evidence. One source explicitly notes that the Kansas City Chiefs have a very low rate of drafting first-round quarterbacks (once every 23.5 years since 1970), and another source discusses a 2017 draft where bettors were not expecting many QBs to go in the first round, indicating that QB dominance is not a universal constant for every team or every draft year.
