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.

      Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever.

      I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.

      summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "
