If Jared Goff and Carson Wentz are taken with the first two picks in the draft it will mark only the seventh time quarterbacks have gone 1-2 in the modern draft era (since 1967). You don't have to go back very far for the last time it happened; last year, Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota were taken with the first two picks. It would be only the second time it has happened in back-to-back years (it also happened in 1998 and 1999).

Since 1960, Cal is tied with USC for the most first-round quarterbacks with five: Rodgers, Kyle Boller (2003, 19th overall), Rich Campbell (1981, sixth overall), Steve Bartkowski (1975, first overall), and Craig Morton (1965, fifth overall). Jared Goff is expected to break the tie this year and become the first QB drafted from Cal since Aaron Rodgers in 2005 (24th overall to the Packers).

The top two schools with the most players taken in the history of the draft are USC (493) and Notre Dame (486). That gap is expected to close slightly this year; the Irish have as many as 10 players that could get drafted, while USC has around seven. Ohio State, which could set a record for most players selected in a single year, is a distant third on the list with 418 players drafted. Rounding out the top five are Oklahoma (373) and Nebraska (353).

Memphis' Paxton Lynch (6-foot-7) could become the tallest quarterback selected in the first round of the NFL draft since Dan McGwire. The 6-foot-8 McGwire was taken 16th overall by the Seahawks in 1991, but only made five career NFL starts (2-3 record).

If Ohio State's Ezekiel Elliott goes in the top 10, it will mark the first time a running back has been selected in the top 10 in back-to-back drafts since 2007-08, when Adrian Peterson (seventh overall in 2007) and Darren McFadden (fourth overall in 2008) came off the board. Last season, the Rams selected Todd Gurley 10th overall.

Three quarterbacks are expected to be taken in the first round of the 2016 draft: Jared Goff, Carson Wentz and Paxton Lynch. Eight of the 12 quarterbacks in NFL history to win multiple Super Bowls were drafted in the first round. The only exceptions are Tom Brady (sixth round), Joe Montana (third round), Roger Staubach (10th round), and Bart Starr (17th round).

Derrick Henry and Kenyan Drake are expected to become the seventh and eighth running backs drafted from Alabama in the Nick Saban era. Of the previous six, only Eddie Lacy has ever rushed for 1,000 yards in a season. T.J. Yeldon, Jalston Fowler, Trent Richardson, Mark Ingram, and Glen Coffee have never done so.

Ole Miss' Laquon Treadwell could become the seventh wide receiver from the SEC selected in the first round since 2010, joining an impressive group: Amari Cooper (Alabama), Mike Evans (Texas A&M), Odell Beckham Jr. (LSU), Cordarrelle Patterson (Tennessee), A.J. Green (Georgia), and Julio Jones (Alabama).

Good news for a team that takes Florida State CB Jalen Ramsey in the top five: four of the last five cornerbacks selected in the top five of the draft went on to become Pro Bowlers. Patrick Peterson (fifth overall to Arizona in 2011), Terence Newman (fifth overall to Dallas in 2003), Charles Woodson (fourth overall to Oakland in 1998), and Shawn Springs (third overall to Seattle in 1998) all earned Pro Bowl honors, while only Quentin Jammer (fifth overall to San Diego in 2002) did not.

Joey Bosa is expected to become the seventh Ohio State defensive lineman selected in the first round in the common draft era. Of the previous six, only one made a Pro Bowl: the late Will Smith of the New Orleans Saints.

With the Rams trading up to the top of the draft, it almost assures a quarterback will be taken first overall. Of the nine starting quarterbacks in 2015 who were former No. 1 overall picks, only Andrew Luck had a winning record (11-5) and made the playoffs in his rookie season. Peyton Manning (1998), Eli Manning (2004), Alex Smith (2005) and Matthew Stafford (2009) were a combined 8-32 as rookie starters.

Robert Nkemdiche was the No. 1 high school recruit in the country in 2013, according to Rivals.com. Of the previous nine players (before Nkemdiche) to receive the honor, none went on to make a Pro Bowl in the NFL. The last player to do so was Adrian Peterson, Rivals' No. 1 overall recruit in 2004.

Josh Doctson could become the first wide receiver from TCU to be a first-round pick in the common draft era (since 1967). The last TCU skill position player selected in the first round was LaDainian Tomlinson, taken fifth overall by the Chargers in 2001.

Linebacker Myles Jack could become just the third UCLA defender to be taken with a top 5 selection. Safety Eric Turner (second overall in 1991) and DB Kenny Easley (4th overall in 1981) are the only Bruins defensive players selected in the top 5 in the common era.

Only once has Ole Miss had multiple players taken in the first round of a single draft (2009, Michael Oher and Peria Jerry). This year the school could have three first-rounders: Laquon Treadwell, Robert Nkemdiche, and Laremy Tunsil.

The second quarterback selected in the draft has struggled to find NFL success in recent seasons. Before Marcus Mariota's selection in 2015, the previous five QBs taken second at their position were Johnny Manziel (22nd overall to Cleveland in 2014), Geno Smith (39th overall to the New York Jets in 2013), Robert Griffin III (second overall to Washington in 2012), Jake Locker (eighth overall to Tennessee in 2011) and Tim Tebow (25th overall to Denver in 2010).
