The reason this matters is teams in the top 5 have bad teams around these QB's. Teams have traded up and found success with QB's due to the teams being better than the draft slot they took their guy, but normally that happens in the back half of the top 10 because teams are coming from mid to late teens.
The answer is Luck, who was hit so often because of a bad O line for years his potential hall of fame career was cut short. If you go past Luck the list doesn't look all that great with a guy like Matt Ryan or Cam Newton maybe being your next best examples.
Well, there's a few that have had good careers and others that have made Super Bowls:
1. Eli Manning
2. Troy Aikman
3. Carson Palmer
4. Vick had a good run
5. Jared Goff
6. Andrew Luck
7. Cam Newton
8. Peyton Manning
9. Drew Bledsoe
10. Jeff George
11. John Elway
12. Jim Plunkett
13. Terry Bradshaw
Those are just the #1 overall picks that have had some success or Super Bowl appreasnces
