...Start with the rankings, NFL.com listing every quarterback in each class year, then ranking the 17 classes, going from worst to first. And while compiling the forthcoming stats, I took the liberty to exclude the 2016 draft class, one year of evidence not nearly enough to properly evaluate boom or bust.
So then, from 2000 through the 2015 draft there were 201 legitimate quarterbacks selected, from the first one taken in 2000, Chad Pennington with the 18th pick in the first round by the New York Jets, to the last one taken in 2015, Trevor Siemian in the seventh round with the 250th pick of the draft by the Denver Broncos. By my estimation, at this point in all of their careers, only 23 have become legitimate “franchise” quarterbacks, with question marks hovering over two others.
That’s a .114 batting average, while choosing to say the final analysis on the likes of Teddy Bridgewater and Jimmy Garappolo is not in yet...
