Out of this group:
21 have made the Pro Bowl
12 have took teams to the Super Bowl
7 have won the Super Bowl
4 are Hall of Famers right now (Manning is for sure someothers have a good shot ie McNair, McNabb, Eli)
10 are pure busts
4 of the busts came in two drafts (1999, 2002)
1 Jeff George - no Pro Bowls but he wasnt a bust really, he played good with other teams, so he is in his own category

(Vince Young, JaMarcus Russell and Matt Ryan jury is still out - Young did have a Pro Bowl though)
Jim Plunkett never made a Pro Bowl but won two Super Bowls.

Just going off history you have close to a 70% you are going to get a Pro Bowl Quarterback with a top 5 pick. You have about the same percentage for a bust as Marty does for playoff wins.

The problem with a poll like this is that it sort of puts the chicken before the egg...

Those QB's werent good because they were top 5 picks they were top 5 because they were good. Some probably were reaches. Some deserved it.

Its all about the scouting of the player as always. Just picking someone top five to say we picked someone top five isnt gonna garner the next Peyton Manning.

I will absolutely disagree with this logic, no pick is truly safe any position can bust, if you make a top 5 pick just trying to be safe that is the absolute ultimate fear, you shouldn't be in charge of a team if you think that way, you'll never be great if you aren't willing to take the chances to make it happen.
