re: NFL Starting QBs by draft position

quote:

So, other than 4 starting QBs, every NFL team's current QB was drafted in the 2nd round or higher.

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.
