NFL Starting QBs by draft position
Posted on 5/1/21 at 3:19 pm
Posted on 5/1/21 at 3:19 pm
1. New England: Cam Newton & Mac Jones (1st)
2. Miami: Tua Tagovailoa (1st)
3. Buffalo: Josh Allen (1st)
4. NY Jets: Zach Wilson (1st)
1. Pittsburgh: Ben Rothelisberger (1st)
2. Cincinnati: Joe Burrow (1st)
3. Cleveland: Baker Mayfield (1st)
4. Baltimore: Lamar Jackson (1st)
1. LAC: Justin Hebert (1st)
2. Kansas City: Patrick Mahomes (1st)
3. Las Vegas: Derek Carr (2nd)
4. Denver: Drew Lock (2nd)
1. Indianapolis: Carson Wentz (1st)
2. Houston: Deshaun Watson (1st) (for now) (Davis Mills 3rd)
3. Jacksonville: Trevor Lawrence (1st)
4. Tennessee: Ryan Tannehill (1st)
1. Dallas: Dak Prescott (4th)
2. Washington: shite-show at the QB position since Cousins left.
3. NYG: David Jones (1st)
4. Philadelphia: Jalen Hurts (2nd)
1. New Orleans: Jameis Winston (1st)
2. Carolina: Sam Darnold (1st)
3. Atlanta: Matt Ryan (1st)
4. Tampa Bay: Tom Brady (6th)* (Kyle Trask 2nd)
1. Green Bay: Aaron Rodgers (1st)
2. Detroit: Jared Goff (1st)
3. Chicago: Justin Fields (1st)
4. Minnesota: Kirk Cousins (4th)
1. LAR: Matt Stafford (1st)
2. Seattle: Russell Wilson (3rd)
3. San Fran: Jimmy Garoppolo (2nd)
4. Arizona: Kyler Murray (1st)
So, other than 4 starting QBs, every NFL team's current QB was drafted in the 2nd round or higher.
Washington has struck out on a couple of 1st round picks, but, for the most part, if you aren't drafting (or signing a FA or trading for) a QB who was drafted in the 1st or 2nd, you will be stuck in mediocrity at the QB position.

Getting the same results as when he was in DC
Probably should have drafted someone this year, o well

Yeah, but he’s just keeping the seat warm for Fields.
Basically shows that if you’re fishing for a viable starting QB after the 3rd round, unless you get extremely lucky, you may as well draft another position of need and try again the next year.

I’ll fix it.
No matter how much the Coach loves a QB in the later rounds, the chance of that player being successful is extremely low.

I remember early where there was an ugly stretches of 1st rd QBs taken. Dan McGwire, David Klingler, Jeff George, Tommy Maddox, Rick Mirer, Todd Marinovich, Heath Shuler.

Yeah.
Seems like QB evaluation for 1st or 2nd round guys has improved tremendously.

There was a classic Jeff George moment when he was with the colts I don't know which game it was or if I was watching it live or it was a highlight show but the crowd was booing him and he waved his arms for them to get louder which was just fantastic.

A lot of those teams that have first round QBs have had several busts before they got the guy so the percentages haven’t really improved, just the volume.

The list just shows that it’s rare that you can find a viable starting QB after the 2nd round.
Posted on 5/1/21 at 4:18 pm to LooseCannon22282
I just remember the one where he and June Jones got into it on the sideline.
Posted on 5/1/21 at 4:33 pm to LSUAlum2001
Teams rarely give a shot to guys after the first 2 rounds unless there is a injury or two usually and even then they go so basic and conservative with their offenses that they don’t give those guys a real shot.

George had a good arm too. I remember him more on the Falcons and Vikings than the Colts but I promise that happened.
I wish it was on YouTube.

You are really stupid.

I wish Jeff George was still sending in his training tapes during the draft to tell teams he’s ready to play
I think he finally stopped like late 2000s, but I wish he was like on a Walker and still making those videos

This is a function of the increased importance of QB relative to other positions on the team.
The absolute best stud Safety in the country might go top of Round 2.
The most mediocre POS QB could go end of round 1 if a team needs one.
If all the QBs get drafted in rounds 1-2 instead of 1-7 it doesn't mean they're better players or better scouted, just that teams have to have them, even a bad one, more than any other position.

Now go back and make a list of all of the 1st round QBs that where drafter since Brady that are out of the league

I’m not saying that doesn’t occur, but finding a quarterback that will start for you after the second or third round is nearly impossible in today’s game.
If you are a team trying to draft the heir apparent in the third day of the draft, you’re going to fail. (cough.. New Orleans.. cough) They haven’t drafted a QB in the first round since Manning... Archie Manning.
Garrett Grayson (3rd round) was so great, Bubba freaking Watson showed up at training camp one time and beat him in a QB accuracy competition.

Was just pointing out even with first rd QBs it is still hit and miss..
