On the optimistic side though we may be sitting at #1 for the first time in a while where the top graded QB is the ultimate no brainer.

You are correct.
Many were 1st rounders, but not the 1st QB themselves.
The big takeaways are:
1) Scouting quality
2) Ability to properly develop/groom

Patrick Mahomes is a great example. He was not the best QB entering the draft when it came to readiness. However, he had an elite skill set and a HC and coaching staff that have been able to properly develop him. There's a decent chance Mahomes wouldn't be at the same level if he were with a handful of other teams.
