No, you lose. I used top 10 picks because any other pick is one that you could get to without being a really horrible team. Go 10-6 with a so-called game manager who can't get you to the Super Bowl and you're still in position where you can trade up to the 11-15 range.

But let's be more generous and expand the category to include all QBs taken in the first half of the 1st round. That adds Ben Roethlisberger. Now it's 9-8 in favor of QBs acquired via free agent or trade. Even if you expand the category to the entire 1st round, it only goes to 9-9 with the addition of Joe Flacco.

The bottom line is that it's a myth that teams have been more successful finding Super Bowl winning QBs by taking one in the first round than by getting them through other means. And it's definitely a myth that you have to have a bad record to be in position to find your QBotF.
