    First-rounders aren't all they're cracked up to be. Remember Montana, Brady, Favre, etc.

    As to the Q:

    Elway, Namath, Dawson, Griese, Bradshaw, Unitas (injured during game), Plunkett, McMahon, Simms, Williams, Aikman, Young, Dilfer, Roethlisberger.

    All 14 quoted by moi have won the SB, and all were drafted in the 1st Rd.

    As regards the list quoted by the previous poster, that is the list of Number 1 draft choices, not the list of first rounders.

    Four overall number 1 draft choices who were QBs won the SB: Bradshaw, Plunkett, Aikman and Elway. So 3 cannot be right, no matter how you look at it.
