A 30 slide photo gallery with commentary. #1 - Patrick Mahomes (Texas Tech to Kansas City). #30 - Paxton Lynch (University of Memphis to Denver Broncos).

I just realized.
That loser.
Russell Wilson.
Was picked in the third round.
No wonder he didn’t show up in this.
For Browns fans....they might go back to 1972 and mention Brian Sipe...who went as pick number 330 for that year. Most undervalued quarterback of all time (when drafted).
All subjective.
I disagree with your last sentence. Tom Brady was a 6th round pick!
One thing you notice about these ‘top’ QB picks is the lack of Super Bowl rings.
Don’t know him at all but number 330 is pretty far in!!
If he was ANY good and lasted more than a year or so that’ incredible.
No Brady Brees or Rothlesberger among them...
MAYBE Mahomes in the future and Goff. No mention of Garofolo.
They also conveniently left out that Tebow was pretty much run out of the NFL for his beliefs more than his lack of ability.
I have watched lengthy game clips from Brady's last year at Michigan.
He did not look like a potentially great quarterback in 1999.
A potential starter in the NFL? Maybe.
I think Brady completely transformed his game during his rookie NFL year.
His drop back speed, foot work, posture, arm strength, release, and accuracy showed dramatic improvement by 2001.
Although those physical improvements helped it has almost nothing to do with why he's the greatest QB of all time.
This is what is wrong with the way most teams approach picking talent, they concentrate solely on the perceived physical abilities.
He played at the same small school (Eastern Illinois) that Tony Romo played at. Garoppolo broke all of Romo’s college passing records.
Tony Romo was actually undrafted in 2003.
For goodness sakes put down the crack pipe, Tebow is bad. I guarantee you Belichick or McDaniels, (and he's the coach that brought him in.) didn't care about Tebow's belief's.
How ridiculous!
Brady was picked something like 200.
Hmm....12th? round draft choice vs. a 6th? As I recall there were 28 teams in 1972. I’ll agree that Brady was better than Sipe, but even in 1972, a 12th round pick was a very long shot to even make the team.
Now it’s only 7 plus a compensatory round.
Lord Elway got rid of Tebow and McDaniels. McDaniels drafted Tebow.
Dak Prescott was a fourth round.
It’s been a bad decade for first round QB picks... They’ve all come up short and I may be wrong, but I don’t think any of them have even appeared in a Super Bowl.
In the last decade... Rottenberger and Manning appeared in 5 and won 4.... This decade... Zip for. The last decade produced several QB’s who had success immediately and this decade has been a bunch of bums... One of whom has already quit because the game is too ‘hard’... And he has a hundred million in the bank already.... Too much money, equals less success.

Tony Romo, undrafted. Tom Brady, 6th round, 199th pick..
not only subjective but idiotic...how do you compare QB’s like Kyler Murray, Daniel Jones and Dwayne Haskins who have played eight games or less who have played 8 years or more??
