The Los Angeles Chargers were prepared to select Tua Tagovailoa if Justin Herbert was already off the board.

"Yeah, we felt great about both guys," Tom Telesco said. "Well, actually, we felt great about all three quarterbacks that went in the top six. All three are going to be really good players in this league, and it's a comforting factor to know. We hope we don't pick sixth very often. If we do, I won't be making very many picks here. (So) in a pick this high, if there's a potential down-the-road franchise quarterback there that you like, you have to take him."

The Chargers decided not to trade up because of how close they had the quarterbacks on their board.

Trevor Lawrence of Clemson is the overwhelming favorite to be the first overall selection in the 2021 NFL Draft, according to odds from SportsBetting.ag. Justin Fields of Ohio State has the second best odds at +500.

Aaron Rodgers has reached out to Jordan Love following the Green Bay Packers' selection of the Utah State quarterback in the first round.

Rodgers initiated the conversation.

"Yeah, I was able to talk with him earlier," Love said. "You know, really good guy. [He was] just congratulating me, and I was just letting him know that I was excited to be able to work with him."

Rodgers has yet to comment publicly on the Packers' decision to draft a quarterback in the first round just months after they completed a 13-3 season.

Rodgers and Love share the same agent.

The Philadelphia Eagles selected Jalen Hurts out of Oklahoma with the 53rd overall pick.

Hurts was the first quarterback selected in the second round.

The opening night coverage of the 2020 NFL Draft on ABC, ESPN, NFL Network, ESPN Deportes and digital drew 15.6 million viewers.

The ratings are a new record for the draft and up 37 percent from 2019.

Top-10 metered markets (across all networks): Columbus, Ohio (16.7), Cleveland (15.9), Cincinnati (15.6), Philadelphia (15.1), Kansas City (14.3), Jacksonville (14.1), Atlanta (14.0), Charlotte (13.1), Denver (12.8) and (tied) Nashville and Milwaukee (12.7).

Jalen Hurts is considered the favorite to be the next quarterback selected as the second round resumes on Friday.

Hurts is given -200 odds, according to SportsBetting.ag.

Jacob Eason of Washington is at +200 and Jake Fromm of Georgia is at +800.

The Green Bay Packers traded up from No. 30 to select Jordan Love out of Utah State.

The Packers traded the No. 30 pick and their fourth rounder to the Miami Dolphins.

The Packers selected Aaron Rodgers when Brett Favre was 35 years old. Rodgers is now 36 years old. Green Bay likely couldn't move on from Rodgers until 2022.

The New England Patriots traded out of the first round, sending the No. 23 pick to the Los Angeles Chargers for picks No. 37 and No. 71.

The Chargers used the selection on Kenneth Murray, linebacker out of Oklahoma.

The Chargers valued Murray as roughly equivalent of the 11th overall pick based on what they gave up to the Patriots.

The 2020 NFL Draft will be historic on many levels. Will Joe Burrow become the next superstar quarterback? How many Pro Bowl wide receivers will come from the first round? Will the Miami Dolphins use their picks to make their future the present? How many technical difficulties will hijack the night as the league's general managers draft from the safety of their homes?
