I found this very interesting:

I also couldn't agree more. The NFL has proven pretty bad at predicting how well potential QBs will do once drafted. Russell Wilson is the prime example, but there have been plenty of really bad draft choices by NFL teams recently. (Nathan Peterman? Really!?) I'll be looking at this for our QBs going forward now that we are using a shotgun spread. It'll be interesting to look at how our guys rate with the CPOE stat and where they are drafted, if they are.

Update: Provided, that is, that I can figure out how to calculate it.

Tom brady, drew brees, blaine gabbert. Lol. There are a ton of total joke first rounders

But the rules have made it much easier to play qb now so i expect less total busts than the past
