(Sometimes you just have to reach for that franchise-changer in the 6th round!)
Connor Shaw
Colt McCoy
Derek Anderson (technically they didn’t draft him, but they got him off the scrap heap in a hurry)
Charlie Frye
Luke McCown
Spergon Wynn
McCoy was actually a 3rd round pick.
I'd honestly put him into the ruined by Cleveland category. Remember that his rookie year he played 8 games and had 60.8% completion, 7.1 YPA, and a 74.5 QB Rating. None of that is great, mind you, but when you figure he was sacked 23 times in half a season and his #1 WR was Mohamed Massaquoi., his #2 WR was Chansi Stuckey.
Not saying he'd ever become an elite QB or something, but I think if he had been drafted by a better team/better situation, he'd have been able to keep them competitive as a starter.
