It was an estimate, but I went and looked it up.  I was probably being generous with the 25%

Here is the list of qb's picked in the top five since 2011 (I started with Cam).  And the qb's picked after 2020, well the jury is still out.  

2020
Burrow
Tua
2019
Murray
2018
Mayfield
Darnold
2017
Trubisky
2016
Goff
Wentz
2015
Winston
Mariotta
2013
Blake Bortles
2012
Luck
RGIII
2011

Cam.  

Personally, I would only call three of those picked in the top five elite.  Cam, Luck, and Burrow.  3 out of 14.  

I don't feel like looking up 6-10, but off the top of my head, we have Allen, Mahomes, and Herbert.  

 

I think leaving Josh Allen out is pretty bad.

 

Edit*

 

That's picking hairs a bit but I see the point...

 

Josh Allen and Justin Herbert were #6 and #7.

Every year, same argument.

Here's the same reply:

No matter what anecdotes you have it doesn't change the fact that mathematically having a higher pick gives you more of a chance to make the correct selection.

Yeah, but does having the FIRST pick give you that big of an advantage at the QB tree?

And the Giants are proving you don't need a good QB to go 6-1

Yeah but they go as far as Saquan goes ask us about the "give your RB the most touches in the NFL"  formula. It isn't built to last. They picked the right head coach though.

I mean his rookie year he went to a complete shitshow.  Urban got fired in season of year one and they had no talent. 

now he is in year 2 already in a new offense.   

they haven’t lost a game by more than a score this year with okay talent around him. He is completing 65% of his passes.  With the Eagles being the lone exception, they have had the lead in the 4th of every game. 
 

 

Right? He looks the part to me. Just need the team to fully settle into the new coach’s offense and get him some weapons.

Unless there’s a clear cut #1, I don’t think so. When Cam and Luck came out yes obviously, but this year I don’t think so. History tells us out of the top 3 the most likely scenario is one’s a good starter ones a JAG ones a bust. If we get any of the 3 between Young Levis and Stroud I’ll be happy

No worries.

And it probably is splitting hairs, but I don't think KC, Buffalo, or SD intentionally tanked.  They just let the chips fall so to speak.  IMO, there is so much luck involved in getting a elite qb, that it really isn't worth trying to jockey for a top five pick just so you can have a 1 in 4 or 5 shot at getting an elite qb.  

But if we do end up with a top five pick, I will keep my fingers crossed that he turns into the next Mahomes.

      Chuba Hubbard is expected to miss Week 5

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I think Chuba is better in pass pro. I think Chuba does a better job setting up blockers, while Dowdle tends to just want to juke or outrun defenders. He has more big play potential, but probably won't get you the consistent numbers. He'll get you in more 3rd and long situations. Now I'm actually excited to see Etienne get more burn. That kid has big play ability written all over him. And he is NOT a punt returner.

      Luke Kuechly HC (Not Joking Faks)

      By strato · Posted

      Maybe had you put it that way instead of dismissing the guy as a ‘radio’ I wouldn’t have pushed back. I get that. At the same time, he knows the team, he is brilliant at film diagnosis, highly disciplined and would have the instant respect of any and all players in that locker room. Coaches too probably. It is hard to overstate how good he was and that includes the mental side.  I wouldn’t bet against him. Give him a couple of seasons to get the job down.  I shouldn’t say every, but I bet it is every… OC or DC that got a HC gig has said they weren’t ready for everything that goes with being a HC. Totally different than the job they had been doing, because now they have to deal with everything and they didn’t even know what that was when they started.  edit: I guess a point I am trying to make with him is, you can work your way up through jobs but when you get promoted the job is not just a higher level of the job you were doing, it is a different job requiring new skills.  The failed HC ranks are full of great coordinators for that very reason.  I resist the dogma of you can’t be good at that unless you were good at LB coach or DC.  To me, Wilks wasn’t a real good DC but he somehow understood that HC job intuitively.
