The 2022 NFL Draft got off to a historic start Thursday night and then things only got crazier from there. Our crack research team here at CBS Sports dug up a few interesting nuggets about the first round of the draft and we're going to share them with you here.One of most notable aspects of the first round was the fact that we saw zero offensive players get selected in the top five, marking just the second time in draft history that's happened. Also, that seems like a perfect place to start for our list of records that were broken and milestones that were hit during Thursday night's first round ().Let's get to the Tony Twist Women Jersey list: Defensive players dominate the top of the draft.The first five picks in the draft were all defensive players, which marks just the second time that's ever happened. The Wayne Gretzky Women Jersey only other instance came in 1991 when the top six players were all from the defensive side of the ball. The top five picks this year were (), (), Derek Stingley (), Sauce Gardner () and ().NFL teams get trade happy in first round.The nine trades that went down on Thursday night were the most we've seen in a first round since 2004. The 2004 draft started off with a trade when the sent to the Giants after selecting him with the No. 1 overall pick, and then thing only got crazier from there. The first trade to go down during the 2022 draft didn't happen until the traded the No. 11 overall pick to the . For a look at all nine trades that went down, including the ' surprising deal for , .Ugly year for quarterbacks.This draft marks just the second time in the past 20 years that we only saw one quarterback taken in the first round (The other time it happened in that span came in 2013). was selected at 20th overall, which is the latest in the draft that the first QB has been taken since 1997 when the selected Jim Druckenmiller at 26th overall.Georgia's defense takes over first round.UGA had 5 defensive players drafted in the first round with Travon Walker (first overall), (13th), (22nd), (28th) and (32nd) all getting selected. The five defensive players is the most by a single Ryan O'Reilly Kids Jersey school in NFL Draft history. infatuated with UGA defenders.Of the five Georgia players who got drafted, two of them -- Quay Walker and Devonte Wyatt -- went to the Packers, marking the first time in the common draft era that two defensive players from the same school got drafted in the first round by the same team (The common draft era started in 1967). Also, the two defensive picks means that the Packers have now gone 20 straight drafts without taking a wide receiver.Cornerbacks steal the show.With Derek Stingley (Texans) and Sauce Gardner (Jets) both going in the top five, this draft marks the first time in 25 years that two corners have gone off the board in the first five picks.

The last time it happened came in 2008 when (Delaware) and (Tenne see State) were both selected. Strange going to the was one of the biggest surprises of the first round. We actually made a list of the five biggest surprises from Thursday and .Hopefully you can use these nine facts to impre s your friends this weekend. |
