Since 2000 there has been 69 QBs taken in first round .
17 were #1 overall pick (the year is listed before name)
01-Vick,02-Carr,03-Palmer,04-E Manning,05-A smith,07-Russell,09-Stafford,10-Bradford,11-Newton,12-Luck,15-Winston,16-Goff,18-Mayfield,19-Murray,20-Burrow,21-Lawrence,23-Young
Out of those picks there is only one sure fire Bust ( Russell) at least 10 elite level and the rest very solid ..

Now it gets interesting.. 6 were number 2 overall picks
12-R Griffin,15-Mariota,16-Wentz,17-Trubisky,21-Z Wilson,23-Cj Stroud …Other than Stroud that is a huge drop off in talent

6 were pick#3
02-Harrington,06-V Young,08-M Ryan,14-Bortles,18-Darnold,21-Lance … One very solid in Ryan
2 were pick#4
04-Rivers,23-Richardson

09-Sanchez,20-Tua

Other than The number ONE pick it’s at best a crap shoot picking a Qb in first round …10 QBs from 2cnd pick to 32 pick in first round were elite franchise QB .. and that’s since 2000 (10 out of 52 )
