There have been 112 starting Super Bowl QBs in the 56 Super Bowls to date.  28 of them (25% or 1 in 4) were drafted after round 5.  Of course, Brady helps this statistic.  Only 57 of the 112 (51%) were first round selections when they were drafted. That means that 49% of all Super Bowl QBs starting for their teams were not first rounders. 

64 QBs have played in a SB. 33 have been 1st rounders.

19 1st rounders have won. 14 1st rounders have lost.

13 1st rounders have won for the team that drafted them. 12 have lost the SB for the team that drafted them and never won a SB.

7 6th round to undrafted QBs have won the SB.

It's interesting when you see all the numbers. 1st round picks get a greater percentage of franchise QB opportunities handed to them. These opportunities go longer than they should when they fail to produce. No matter which QB a team gives the franchise opportunity to, 85% of franchise QBs make it to the playoffs - favoring the 6th to undrafted (82% 1st rounders; 85% 2nd-5th rounders; 91% 6th to undrafted).

When it comes to drafting QBs to win the SB, only 8 (7.7%) 1st round QBs have won it all with the coach and team that drafted them. 4 (5.8%) 6th round to undrafted QBs have done the same. 3 (4.1%) 2nd to 5th round QBs have done the same.

19 SB champion QBs have been inherited from a previous coaching staff, signed in the offseason, or acquired in a trade (only 2 of these SB QBs) by their SB winning coach.

Drafting a QB is highly overrated. Drafting a 1st round QB in the top 20 is a complete waste of resources. These QBs take away from building a team, lose a lot of playoff games, and get many coaches fired. Finding a QB should be a patient and widespread search that saves draft capital and pairs a QB with the offensive genius of the coaching staff. A GM should draft a QB selectively, conservatively, and purposefully.
