In fact, they have only done it twice in the history of the franchise that I recall.
Steve Fuller in 79 and Todd Blackledge in 83 if I remember correctly. Am I forgetting someone? Please correct me if I am missing someone.
They took a few later round pokes at it, like David Jaynes, Brodie Croyle and Stanzi, but not any other firsts.

Pete Beathard from USC in 1964, drafted in the first round of AFL draft. He was Dawson's back up.
We've had other QBs that were other teams first round picks as well:
Cotton Davidson - Baltimore
Len Dawson - Pittsburgh
Jacky Lee - Houston
Brady Quinn is the 7th "First Round QB" to start a game for KC.
