Flacco went 18 and is the only other "recent" example I can think of past the middle of the 1st.
Weeden, Tebow, JP Losman, Grossman, Josh Freeman, Brady Quinn, Kyle Boller
I can't think of many guys selected in the first round but after the early teens that turned out great. Just remembered Manziel! EJ Manuel was somewhere in the mid-teens too

If we're going to do it, then we target the right guy in the right year, and move up to get him. Don't do this for a CP-like desperation "just draft anyone in the first" kind of selection.
When you draft a QB high, you basically are devoting 3-4 years of your franchise to them. I don't want us to do that for a tweener who might have a second round grade on them.
