They seem to have done WAY better the last 4 years

QBs drafted in the 1st round from 2017-2020

2017: Patrick Mahomes....Best QB in the NFL?
2017: Deshawn Watson....4 years, 3 Pro Bowls.... stud
2017: Mitch Trubisky. 1 Pro Bowl, but honestly, not a good starter
2018: Lamar Jackson....NFL MVP 2019, All Pro
2018: Baker Mayfield...solid NFL starter
2018: Sam Darnold...NFL starter, but still tbd
2018: Josh Rosen.....backup
2019: Josh Allen....top 4 QB in 2020..2nd team All Pro
2019: Kyler Murray....good starter with upside
2019: Daniel Jones...NFL starter with upside
2019: Dwayne Haskins....backup
2020: Joe Burrow....NFL starter and possible future star
2020: Justin Herbert....NFL starter and possible future star
2020: Tua Tagovailoa....NFL starter, but more uncertain...tbd
2020: Jordan Love.....no idea because he's behind Aaron Rodgers

So 15 drafted
12 starters....8 good or great....4 starting but need to show more
3 backups....2 are flops so far, 1 has not had a chance yet after 1 year
Not the way I see it. Darnold is on his way out in NY. Jones isn’t really starter material IMO and all he does is run well. He fumbles the ball. A LOT. Trubisky? Garbage. Haskins may be out of the league. Tua didn’t look NFL ready at all and I suspect will be out of the league after his rookie deal is done. Josh Rosen. Backup. Jordan love wasn’t very good in college so I’m not expecting much.
8 out of 15 looks better but it’s still not a guarantee like some on here are saying.

and to top that off. Remember who’s doing the drafting

Brady skews the numbers; a one off. Trying to use that to defend not taking first rd QBs is just as stupid as the post talking about 2009-2016 and then ignoring the last 4 years.

Instead look at all the starting QBs in the SB the last 20 years that is a much more balanced look.
That’s already been done. And many of them weren’t first round picks. The reason I left out the last 4 years is because it had already been done on here. So relax with the “stupid” comments

One thing people don't recognize: there's been a considerable change in how quarterbacks play, from dropback to dual-option. That first group of dual-option quarterbacks were being coached by classic dropback coordinators.

The other trend that was going on was some really bad trends toward dink and dunk offense by control-freak coordinators. Sam Bradford's year of completing 75 percent of his passes comes to mind.
