Interesting fact about QB's drafted by round since Brady

[X-Era]

After Tom Brady was drafted in the 6th round in the 2000 draft, how many QB's drafted after that, and outside of the 1st round, made the playoffs as a starter?

Answer: 3

Drew Brees, the 32 pick, which is a 1st round pick now.
David Garrard, picked 108 overall in the 4th, went to the playoffs as a starter in the 2007 season.
Matt Cassel went this year for KC.

So in the 10 years since Brady was drafted in the 6th round, only 3 QB's have been drafted outside of the 1st round and have taken the team to the playoffs as the starter.

Out of 98 QB picks outside of round 1 since 2000, only 3 have done it.

* Starter- started greater than 8 regular season games in that year.

Edit----- Include Tony Romo who was undrafted in 2003- also made he playoffs which makes it 4% unless we want to add all the undrafted QB's since 2000 to the mix that haven't made the playoffs.

This is great thing to share and to try and let people know we have to pick a QB and really invest a lot of time in picking the right one.

IMO its hard enough to find a QB in the first round let alone any time after that

Im at the point where either your all in or your not. If we dont use our first or early 2nd(this year since its practically a first) on a QB then to me using a draft pick on a QB after that is pretty much a waste of a draft pick

Using this data, it sure seems to be.

BTW, Fitzpatrick was drafted since 2000.

what about matt cassel?

The Pats missed the playoffs in 08. They went this year (KC), He was a 7th rounder, I stand corrected...

so 3 out of 98 picks.

Hasselbeck was a 6th rounder in '98.

Why cut off at 2000 w/Brady if a guy is still active?

The Pats missed the playoffs that year.

The Chiefs made it this year, though.

I fixed it.

3% in 10 years is not a good rate.

Re: Interesting fact about QB's drafted by round since Brady

Hell, with Brees, Brady, Cassell, and Hasselbeck that's 33% just in this season's playoffs alone.

And only Brees and Cassell were drafted outside of round 1 since 2000. And Brees was drafted at the 32 pick, which is a 1st rounder now.

...but he made it with the Chiefs this year.

X - this is a very telling statistic about the importance of getting a QB early in the draft. There is no arguing that. However, what I think a lot of people need to come to grips with is that there is not a QB who has really proven themselves of being a bona fide #3 pick in this year's draft. Combine that with the fact that we have an at least average starter in Fitz, and it becomes pretty obvious that drafting a QB in this draft is not a logical option... at least in the 1st round.

I think the most likely option is to take one with our 2nd if a guy is there that OBD really likes. That is entirely possible if we get to the 20s and a couple of the top-rated QBs are still on the board. I can't see any of the playoff teams grabbing a QB outside of maybe Seattle, so there may be a guy that fits the criteria when our pick rolls around in round 2. The only obstacle may be New England, who will almost certainly be fielding offers for that first pick of the 2nd round. A team may fall in love with one of the QBs left and snag him in the time between round 1 and 2. That could keep us from getting our guy, and may push off the search until next year. If that's the case, so be it.

As for our #3 pick, I just can't see ignoring what should be a sure thing at a position of need for us aside from QB. I think that is the direction OBD will end up going in when it is all said and done.

i refer all questions to my sig.

I fixed your sig for you.

a decent qb can win a fluke super bowl. but a franchise defense makes a perennial powerhouse.

Your percentage on us actually obtaining a "franchise" defense?
