That is too simplistic of a comparison. There is a much broader gap between #1 & #32 in the first round, than there is with #32 in the 1st round and #1 in the 2nd round.

List the drafted QBs by their picked number instead:

LAR: Matt Stafford #1
Detroit: Jared Goff #1
Cleveland: Baker Mayfield #1
Jacksonville: Trevor Lawrence #1
Cincinnati: Joe Burrow #1
Arizona: Kyler Murray #1
New England: Cam Newton #1 & Mac Jones #15
New Orleans: Jameis Winston #1 & Taysom Hill und

Indianapolis: Carson Wentz #2
NY Jets: Zach Wilson #2
Atlanta: Matt Ryan #3
Carolina: Sam Darnold #3
Miami: Tua Tagovailoa #5

LAC: Justin Hebert #6
NYG: Daniel Jones #6
Buffalo: Josh Allen #7
Tennessee: Ryan Tannehill #8
Kansas City: Patrick Mahomes #10

Pittsburgh: Ben Rothelisberger #11
Houston: Deshaun Watson #12 & Davis Mills #67
Green Bay: Aaron Rodgers #24
Baltimore: Lamar Jackson #32

Chicago: Andy Dalton #35 & Justin Fields #11
Las Vegas: Derek Carr #36
Denver: Drew Lock #42
Philadelphia: Jalen Hurts #53
San Fran: Jimmy Garoppolo #62 & Trey Lance #3

Seattle: Russell Wilson #75
Minnesota: Kirk Cousins #102
Dallas: Dak Prescott #135
Tampa Bay: Tom Brady #199
Washington: Ryan Fitzpatrick #250

I would like to see this for all the positions.

Solid thread here.

Probably wouldn't be as meaningful. Other positions aren't as important and there is a lot of rotation.

I do think a starting offensive line thread might be interesting but that would take a long time to put together and you'd have to do it on last year's data since we have no real depth charts to work with.

If only we had a term for QBs like that.

Yes the QB who accounted for the vast majority of his team’s total yards some years is somehow a game manager.

You try to hard sometimes

By your logic Dan Marino is a game manager. Winning a SB has always been a team thing.
