As the big game approaches I began to ponder the Super Bowls past and the different quarterbacks to take part in the game. As I went through the list, I began to wonder what part of the draft each of these quarterbacks were selected. One of the most interesting parts of the draft is finding diamonds in the rough especially surprise franchise quarterbacks. The list I generated features two #1 overall picks, 7 first round selections, 2 post first round selections, and 2 undrafted free agents. After the jump you can check out the list of quarterbacks and their draft positions.
