These days teams are more inclined to go after the QB, when they get the chance.
In 2019, the top 3 Qbs taken, Murray (1), Jones (6) and Haskins (15), went to teams that had bottom half Pass Blocking Efficiency lines the year before. Arizona was even #32. Granted, some of that has to go on the previous QB.
In 2018, the top 4 QBs taken, Mayfield (1), Darnold (3), Allen (7) and Rosen (10), went to teams that had bottom half PBE lines, with the exception of Buffalo who was #2.
In 2017, the top 3 QBs taken, Trubisky (2), Mahomes (10) and Watson (12), went to teams that had PBE lines that ranked #7 (CHI), #4 (KC) and #27 (HST).
In 2016, the top 2 QBs taken, Goff (1) and Wentz (2), went to teams that had bottom half PBE lines, though PHI was ranked #16. So while it may be smarter to build the line first, it's not necessarily what teams do these days (9 bottom half, 3 top half).
These days, teams love them some "franchise QBs", regardless of what's around them.
