Gimme a break.
The bottom line is that if you want to win a Super Bowl in this day and age, you're far more likely to do so with a QB taken in the first round of the NFL Draft.
This isn't the 50's. Or the 60's. Or the 70's. Or even the 90's.
There are dozens of scouting websites and services. NFL teams employee five to eight or more scouts to cover the country (making that number at about 200 or so). Games are broadcast every single week in every market. The likelihood of teams missing on true, first rate, franchise QB's is minimal.
Hell, look at this year for example. Mark Sanchez took his team to the AFC Championship and was leading at one point in that game over Peyton Manning!
It's extremely unlikely that a player of that caliber slips because everyone in the NFL knows that the QB position is the most important position today.
Bar none.
