This is a good reference.
http://www.pro-football-reference.com/ I'm not sure who is against taking a first round QB. I think it just depends on where the franchise is at the time and how they rate the propects. |

Bill Parcells isn't necessarily against drafting a QB in the first but he has SPECIFIC criteria for drafting a QB that lots and lots of successful QBs don't meet.
Pro Football Reference is THE site for stats, numbers, and history, period. |

That's a good point. He took Jake Long when Miami needed a QB. I also remember watching that he wouldn't take a player that he couldn't compare to someone. He was saying he wouldn't take Osweiler (6' 7") because there had never been a QB that tall. He would just automatically take him off the list.

Maybe Holmgren. Brett was a second rounder and he took Seattle to a superbowl with a 6th rounder. He may have said something on the subject

Here is an article you might want to check out for your research.
http://www.coldhardfootballfacts.com...und-qbs/15221/ Some highlights Here's a quick look at how draft positions relate to Super Bowl appearances: 1st Overall – 7 QBs combined for 19 starts Top 10 – 13 QBs, 25 starts 1st Rd – 20 QBs, 36 starts 2nd Rd – 4 QBs, 5 starts 3rd Rd – 5 QBs, 8 starts 4th Rd – 3 QBs, 4 starts 5th Rd – N/A 6th Rd – 4 QBs, 8 starts 7th Rd or later – 2 QBs, 2 starts Undrafted – 2 QBs, 4 starts First-round quarterbacks, meanwhile, have made over half (53.7%) of all starts in the big game. In fact, Brady is one of just two quarterbacks in the last 20 drafts who was selected outside of the top 32 and started a Super Bowl. The other was Matt Hasslebeck, a sixth rounder in 1998. So, what have we learned? While there are many, many factors that go into a football team's success, fielding a quarterback who was picked near the top of the class is typically a common thread between the best of the best. |

Questions were all over the place, a lot about players talking smack. He said he thinks Romo is a really good QB that gets a bad rap. He said the QB protection is the most important thing. If you can't protect it doesn't matter who the QB is. (His words).

I have not been able to find any story to reference about not drafting a QB in the first. Or building a success NFL team where the QB is not or was not drafted in the first. Have to be able to reference. Wikipedia cannot be used.

I can if they reference a scholarly journal or are widely considered creditable source.
