Do we pass up drafting a QB in this years draft?

Brady - anomoly, but 6th round.
Wilson - 3rd round
Rodgers  -1st round
Ryan - 1st round (top 5)
Big Ben - 1st round
Flacco - 1st round
Kap - 2nd round
Manning - 1st overall
Manning - 1st overall
Newton - 1st overall

While there are a ton of other reasons why teams win, it seems that having a 1st rounder is a common theme.

Correct. But 6 of those 7 Super Bowl winning quarterbacks were drafted from 1999-2008.
There's been only one Super Bowl winning quarterback drafted since 2009, and that was in the 3rd round.

A consistent: 2012 was the ONLY year since 2003 where we didn't have a Super Bowl that has Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, or Big Ben playing in it.
