That shit's all over the place. Yes, you CAN find late round gems, but that doesn't mean you should bank on it as a legitimate strategy for finding the right QB.
The error (that JustPassinBy and Excretor keep missing) is you can't just say, "Look at all these QBs who didn't get drafted in the first round who went to the Super Bowl! That's almost as many as the first round QBs!" They don't look at the percentages or take into account that SIX rounds (seven if you count undrafted guys) of QBs were combined to get a number that is fewer than just the one round.
Just because Brady and Warner happened doesn't mean the Chiefs can do it. If they do, then great. In the meantime, they should start looking for QBs in the first round, which is OVERWHELMINGLY the round to find your starter and franchise guy.

And when you hit it, you hit it BIG. Roethlisberger was in multiple Superbowls, so were both Mannings, Aaron Rodgers will get to another one or two before that is all said and done, every draft pick is a risk but the risk at Quarterback will ALWAYS yield the sweeter reward.
