12 Starting QB's drafted in the First Round.
21 QB's taken in the First Round since 2000.
QB taken #1 overall in 8 of the last 10 drafts.
The last two Superbowl MVP's were First Round draft picks.
In the last decade twice as many QB's drafted than in the 10 years prior.
Just 6 of the remaining QB's (#3's or lower) on my list have had any NFL success.
