Which state has produced the most No. 1 overall NFL Draft picks since 1990?

Is former Oklahoma and Lake Travis star the answer at quarterback for Cleveland?

Baker Mayfield going No. 1 in the 2018 NFL Draft gives high schools in the state of Texas their second straight top pick and fourth overall top pick since 1990. 

The new Cleveland Browns quarterback joins other Texas signal-callers Matthew Stafford (2009) and Andrew Luck (2012), along with defensive end Myles Garrett (2017), as top selections. 

Many predicted either Sam Darnold or Josh Allen, a pair of California products, as the No. 1 selection. The Golden State leads all states with five top picks, including other signal-callers Jared Goff (2016), Alex Smith (2005) and Carson Palmer (2003) and David Carr (2002), along with wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson (1996).



Mayfield's selection helped Texas break a tie with Ohio, which also has three top picks, which includes Dan Wilkinson and Ki-Jana Carter in consecutive years (1994 and 1995) and Orlando Pace in 1997.

Georgia and Florida — high school football power states — have surprisingly combined for just one No. 1 overall pick. Atlanta product Cam Newton heard his name first in 2011, but the Sunshine State has been shutout despite its status as a prospect hotbed. No. 1 Overall NFL Draft Picks since 1990 By State
