Here are the last ten years QB's taken after the first 44 picks in the draft. Look at all the stars. I bolded all the ones that have panned out so far to become good NFL QB's so you could clearly see the value. To be fair this list does not included Drew Brees who was 33rd overall selection (first pick of second round) or Tony Romo who was undrafted. These are only the guys taken 44th or later.

2010

ROUND 2: Jimmy Clausen, Panthers (48th overall)

ROUND 3: Colt McCoy, Browns (85); Armanti Edwards, Panthers (89)

ROUND 4: Mike Kafka, Eagles (122)

ROUND 5: John Skelton, Cardinals (155); Jonathan Crompton, Chargers (168)

ROUND 6: Rusty Smith, Titans (176); Dan LeFevour, Bears (181); Joe Webb, Vikings (199); Tony Pike, Panthers (204)

ROUND 7: Levi Brown, Bills (209); Sean Canfield, Saints (239); Zac Robinson, Patriots (250)

2009

ROUND 4: Stephen McGee, Cowboys (101)

ROUND 5: Rhett Bomar, Giants (151); Nate Davis, 49ers (171)

2008

ROUND 2: Brian Brohm, Packers (56), Chad Henne, Dolphins (57)

ROUND 3: Kevin O’Connell, Patriots (94)

ROUND 5: John David Booty, Vikings (137); Dennis Dixon, Steelers (156); Josh Johnson, Buccaneers (160); Erik Ainge, Jets (162)

ROUND 6: Colt Brennan, Redskins (198); Andre Woodson, Giants (198)

ROUND 7: Matt Flynn, Packers (209); Alex Brink, Texans (223)

2007

ROUND 3: Trent Edwards, Bills (92)

ROUND 5: Jeff Rowe, Bengals (151); Troy Smith, Ravens (174)

ROUND 6: Jordan Palmer, Redskins (205)

ROUND 7: Tyler Thigpen, Vikings (217)

2006

ROUND 2: Kellen Clemens, Jets (49); Tarvaris Jackson, Vikings (64)

ROUND 3: Charlie Whitehurst, Chargers (81); Brodie Croyle, Chiefs (85)

ROUND 5: Ingle Martin, Packers (148); Omar Jacobs, Steelers (164)

ROUND 7: D.J. Shockley, Falcons (223)

2005

ROUND 3: Charlie Frye, Browns (67); Andrew Walter, Raiders (69); David Greene, Seahawks (85)

ROUND 4: Kyle Orton, Bears (106); Stefan LeFors, Panthers (121)

ROUND 5: Dan Orlovsky, Lions (145); Adrian McPherson, Saints (152)

ROUND 6: Derek Anderson, Ravens (213)

ROUND 7: Matt Cassel, Patriots (230); Ryan Fitzpatrick, Rams (250)

2004

ROUND 3: Matt Schaub, Falcons (90)

ROUND 4: Luke McCown, Browns (106)

ROUND 5: Craig Krenzel, Bears (148)

ROUND 6: Andy Hall, Eagles (185); Josh Harris, Ravens (187); Jim Sorgi, Colts (193); Jeff Smoker, Rams (201); John Navarre, Cardinals (202).

ROUND 7: Cody Pickett, 49ers (217); Casey Bramlet, Bengals (218); Matt Mauck, Broncos (225); B.J. Symons, Texans (248); Bradlee Van Pelt, Broncos (250)

2003

ROUND 3: Dave Ragone, Texans (88); Chris Simms, Buccaneers (97)

ROUND 4: Seneca Wallace, Seahawks (110)

ROUND 5: Brian St. Pierre, Steelers (163)

ROUND 6: Drew Henson, Texans (192); Brooks Bollinger, Jets (200); Kliff Kingsbury, Patriots (201)

ROUND 7: Gibran Hamdan, Redskins (232); Ken Dorsey, 49ers (241).

2002

ROUND 3: Josh McCown, Cardinals (81)

ROUND 4: David Garrard, Jaguars (108); Rohan Davey, Patriots (117)

ROUND 5: Randy Fasani, Panthers (137); Kurt Kittner, Falcons (158); Brandon Doman, 49ers (163); Craig Nall, Packers (164)

ROUND 6: J.T. O’Sullivan, Saints (186)

ROUND 7: Seth Burford, Chargers (216); Jeff Kelly, Seahawks (232); Wes Pate, Ravens (236)

2001

ROUND 2: Quincy Carter, Cowboys (53); Marques Tuiasosopo, Raiders (59)

ROUND 4: Chris Weinke, Panthers (106); Sage Rosenfels, Redskins (109); Jesse Palmer, Giants (125)

ROUND 5: Mike McMahon, Lions (149); A.J. Feeley, Eagles (155)

ROUND 6: Josh Booty, Seahawks (172); Josh Heupel, Dolphins (177).

In summary, yeah there may be busts at QB in the first round but the odds are exponentially higher that those guys in the first round turn into good QB's than waiting to find value at the QB position in the later rounds.

Two guys in ten years have panned out.

It simply doesn't happen.

That's why we don't take one this year at all.

I want to wait...until next season.

Why wait?? There are two QB's that have high first round grades this year. I'm just not sure what some of you guys want?? Just because Cam isn't Andrew Luck doesn't mean he isn't just as likely to pan out.

As a matter of fact recent history suggests that Luck would have a just as high a likelihood to fail as Cam Newton. The only reason Luck is rated is high as he is is because he played in a Pro System. Well only one QB that came from a true pro system has succeeded lately (Matt Ryan). The fact of the matter is that Luck (like every other QB to come from a pro system) was overrated because of the offense he played in at the college level.

So what do we wait for? What is your criteria for a worthy QB??

David Garrard hasn't panned out?

I said to be good QB's. If I downgraded from good QB's to serviceable I would probably have included Gerrard and Kyle Orton.

Not sure I would call those two really good QB's at this point but it depends on what your definition of good is.

I'm not saying Andrew Luck wouldn't be a great player, but he does get a lot of extra credit because he plays in a pro system. I wonder if he would have such high grades if he came from a run and shoot offense or a spread?? Probably not.

And yet year after year first round pro style QB's are failing

Garrard and Orton deserve to be included in my opinion but still doesn't change the conclusion. 'preciate the post.

I guess I looked at from this perspective.

If Kansas City or Houston had the number one overall pick somehow (like a trade for instance) and Andrew Luck was available. Those two teams would pass on Luck because they have a good QB in place.

Denver with Orton or Jacksonville with Garrard would not pass on Luck in a similar situation.

But those guys are serviceable just not good.

Luck was rated higher because he was the complete package, no weaknesses, no red flags.

Luck was light years ahead of Newton, let's not reach that far.

Light years? No. More complete and ready to start, yes.

Luck also had more years in the same system. Against common opponents- Oregon- Newton has better success this year.

No doubt Luck would have been taken first this year by us. But that doesn't mean he was the only choice or guy worthy to be drafted at number 1.

A lot of experts would disagree, Luck was the consensus first pick. There were a host of reasons for that.

      Jabrill Peppers Available

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
