33 QBs selected in the first 3 rounds 2000-2007, including 6 #1 overall selections.
Brees, Rogers, Rothlisberger, Rivers, Palmer are the only signal callers I would deem good to excellent from this group.
5-33 first three rounds, including 6 #1 overall selections. 15% success
2-77 post round 3%
5-33- that is below the Mendozza line. Stay away from QB's in the first round
