The 2018 NFL Draft is already rife with first-round quarterback options, with Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, Baker Mayfield, Josh Allen, and Lamar Jackson all expected to come off the board within the first 32 picks. But it may be time to add another name to that list.

Oklahoma State's Mason Rudolph has been extremely busy with team meetings and workouts in recent weeks, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, who calls the former Cowboys signal-caller a "likely first-rounder."

Rapoport adds the Buffalo Bills, who own two first-round selections, will host Rudolph for a top-30 visit this weekend. He's also had meetings or workouts with the Saints, Chargers, Giants, Steelers, Bengals, and Patriots. Each team could reportedly pick a quarterback in Round 1. Like Buffalo, New England also has two first-round picks after trading Brandin Cooks to the Rams.

Rudolph may not be targeted with a top-10 selection on April 26, but teams drafting in the latter stages of the first round are clearly doing their homework on the strong-armed passer.

The last time six quarterbacks were chosen in the first round was in 1983.
