NFL Draft Your quarterback-drafting trivia quiz of the week. - Page 4

**Rain Man** · 06:53 PM

In preparation for the 2017 NFL Annual player selection process, I have a quarterback drafting quiz for you.

Here are the background rules:

1. We're talking only about quarterbacks.
2. We're talking about the 47 drafts from 1970 through 2016, nothing before that.
3. For Questions 1 through 3, I'm just taking raw numbers, regardless of how long a franchise has been around. For Questions 4 through 6, for franchises that didn't exist all 47 years, I scaled up their picks to a 47-year extrapolated total.
4. When I talk about draft points, I assume that the pick occurred in the middle of the round and didn't track the actual selection spot. So all first-round picks are the same value, all second-round picks are the same value, etc.
5. I assumed that any pick beyond the 8th round is an 8th round pick, because why not?
6. I sum by franchise. So the Titans include the Oilers, the Rams include all of their various cities, etc. So answer by team name, not city name.

Ready? Here's your quiz.

1. Two franchises have invested in 6 first-round QBs since 1970. Name them. Titans/Oilers and Colts

2. Three teams have invested in only 1 first-round pick since 1970. Three have existed since 1970, and one is newer. Name them. Texans, Cowboys, Saints.

3. Only 1 team has invested 8 or more picks since 1970 in the 1st or 2nd round on QBs. What team? Jets.

4. Regardless of the round taken, what three teams have drafted the most QBs since 1970? Bengals 32, Packers 31, Bears 27

5. Regardless of the round taken, what three teams have drafted the fewest QBs since 1970? Jaguars (15 when scaled up), Saints 17, Seahawks, Vikings, Panthers - 18 with scaling.

6. Including draft point values (see Rule 4 above), what three teams have invested the most draft points on QBs since 1970?

7. Including draft point values (see Rule 4 above), what three teams have invested the fewest draft points on QBs since 1970?

8. Where do the Chiefs rank among the 32 franchises in terms of total draft points invested?

9. What is the average number of quarterbacks drafted per 46 years of existence in the NFL? 23

10, How many total quarterbacks have been drafted by the Chiefs since 1970? 21

In raw terms, you're correct in that the newest teams have drafted the fewest: 7 Jaguars, 7 Texans, and 8 Panthers. However, if you scale all of the teams up to a 47 year time span, the fewest quarterbacks would be drafted by the:

Jaguars - scales to 15 over 47 years.
Saints - 17
Seahawks, Vikings, Panthers - 18 when scaled to 47 years.

I counted 17 for Atlanta. I will have to check again though.

5. Jags, browns and some other equally bad team.

I've got:

But there's a twist on the Jags that will be revealed shortly.

Redskins is a good guess, but not quite there. Those teams are all middle of the pack.

The answer to Q4 is:

Bengals 32
Packers 31
Bears 27

The Bengals don't surprise me, but the other two teams do. I'm surprised by the Packers because they went 20 years without needing a second-string quarterback, so why did they keep drafting them?

And the Bears must be absolutely terrible at drafting QBs. They've drafted 27 and I don't think we would recognize any of them.

The Packers sure destroyed a lot of guys' careers by burying them behind Favre and not letting them start a single game.

But actually, several of those guys escaped. Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Brooks, Matt Hasselbeck, Mark Brunell, even Ty Detmer to some extent. The Packers were good at drafting backup quarterbacks.

You ready for draft points? Recall that I assumed every pick occurred in the middle of the round. Otherwise, the #1 picks would blow away the curve.

The Jaguars don't pick a lot of guys, but they're not averse to using first-round picks on them. If you scaled up the Jaguars to 47 years of drafts based on their current history, they would have the most first-round quarterbacks on the league.

If I was going purely on draft points by individual pick, though, the Colts would blow away the league. They've drafted four #1 picks over the years, whereas no other team has more than two.

The bottom end of the scale is really interesting as well. The Cowboys have had one of the best QB histories in the league from 1970, but they're mainstay QBs were drafted before my timeline (Staubach), one first-rounder (Aikman), and an undrafted free agent (Romo).

The Giants have had a lot of Super Bowl success as well and they don't invest squat in QBs. Their only picks in the top two rounds have been Phil Simms and Phillip Rivers.
