Since 1970, 70% of the top 5 picks that were QB's have made the Pro Bowl. Most of the recent busts have came from two draft classes.
Also 57% of the Super Bowls have been won by first round QB's. That number increases to 70% if you factor in Joe Montana and Tom Brady. Also majority of those non-first round quarterbacks winners were Joe Montana, Tom Brady, Roger Staubuch (who would have went #1 if werent for Vietnam) and Bart Starr. So you want a 3rd round QB? Joe Montana aside, its just Jeff Hostler who has won a Super Bowl.
So what is the better investment now? |
