The First Round QB
OK, everyone knows it is beyond ridiculous that the Chiefs haven't drafted a QB in round 1 since Todd Blackledge in 1983. As much as I love Derrick Johnson, I can't look at him without thinking of Aaron Rodgers. That got me thinking, how many first round QB's have the other teams taken in that time span? Has every other team taken multiple first round QBs since 1983? Well, here is the breakdown:
Patriots: Drew Bledsoe (93) Bills: JP Losman (04), EJ Manuel (13) Jets: Chad Pennington (00), Mark Sanchez (09) Dolphins: Ryan Tannehill (12) Steelers: Ben Roethlisberger (04) Bengals: David Klingler (92), Akili Smith (99), Carson Palmer (03) Old Browns/Ravens: Kyle Boller (03), Joe Flacco (08) New Browns: Tim Couch (99), Brady Quinn (07), Branden Weeden (12), Johnny Manziel (14) Texans: David Carr (02) Oilers/Titans: Jim Everett (86), Steve McNair (94), Vince Young (06), Jake Locker (11), Marcus Mariota (15) Jaguars: Byron Leftwich (03), Blaine Gabbert (11), Blake Bortles (14) Colts: Jeff George (90), Peyton Manning (98), Andrew Luck (12) Broncos: Tommy Maddox (92), Jay Cutler (06), Tim Tebow (10), Paxton Lynch (16) Raiders: Todd Marinovich (91), Jamarcus Russell (07) Chargers: Ryan Leaf (98), Philip Rivers (04) Cowboys: Troy Aikman (89) Eagles: Donovan McNabb (99), Carson Wentz (16) Giants: Eli Manning (04) Redskins: Heath Shuler (94), Patrick Ramsey (02), Jason Campbell (05), Robert Griffin III (12) Packers: Aaron Rodgers (05) Bears: Jim Harbaugh (87), Cade McNown (99), Rex Grossman (03) Vikings: Daunte Culpepper (99), Christian Ponder (11), Teddy Bridgewater (14) Lions: Chuck Long (86), Andre Ware (90), Joey Harrington (02), Matt Stafford (09) Panthers: Kerry Collins (94), Cam Newton (11) Bucs: Vinny Testaverde (87), Trent Dilfer (94), Josh Freeman (09), Jameis Winston (15) Saints: None Falcons: Chris Miller (87), Michael Vick (01), Matt Ryan (08) 49ers: Jim Druckenmiller (97), Alex Smith (05) Seahawks: Dan McGwire (91), Rick Mirer (93) Rams: Sam Bradford (10), Jared Goff (16) Cardinals: Kelly Stouffer (87), Matt Leinart (06) Notes: The Saints are the only other team to not draft a first round QB in that time (although they have had a franchise QB for a decade plus so they haven't really needed one) The teams that have only drafted one QB in that time frame have all had a franchise QB for an extended period (except the Texans and they are a new team) Embarassing |

3 of the 4 teams that are playing this weekend have quarterbacks that were drafted in the first round.

And all 4 are starting QBs that they drafted themselves. Must be some sort of fluke, like all 1 seeds making it to the Final Four, it's so rare.

That can't be right. It's too risky for teams to draft a QB in the 1st round. I read that on Chiefs Planet several times so it must be true.
