There are plenty of starts among that group and more than a couple of wins too. The trick in later rounds is to find the hidden gem. To show what I mean by that statement:

More exceptions than rule here.

BTW- Only one of those guys is a winner.

Now, how many other QB's (since Brady was taken in 2000) in the mid - late rounds have been taken versus those who you are throwing up to prove your point? I have no interest in inveting the time to do the research but will take a flyer and say there is less than a 10% sucess rate.
