Scott Wright's Draftcountdown.com used to have a tally for 2nd round QBs and their success and it was basically a dead zone. Drew Brees was, at the time of the article, one of the very few exceptions, with Dalton being another. But, generally speaking, if a QB isn't worth taking in the first round, their statistical success rate plummets.
This is correct.
I have posted a list of 2nd round QBs before and it isn't pretty.
But when you look at the list of big draft trades the team giving up the top pick still gets a decent first round pick. In many cases still in the top 10.
