So you want to trade down to the second round to get a quarterback? Here is the list of all 2nd round draft picks for the past 10 years. Only one is a quality Starter, Hall of Famer to be Drew Brees.But he does not count because he was cut from San Diego after his 3rd year with concerns about his health. He was 10-17 as a starter there. And every team could have signed him. New Orleans was smart enough to sign the Free Agent Brees. The jury is out on Dalton, Kolb and even John Beck. Kolb is with his second team and Beck is on his 3rd team.

The average of all these players is probably Chad Henne and Tarvaris Jackson; guys you really do not want starting for you but because you have to have a starter they are all you've got.

Do yourself a favor and use your first round pick on a Quarterback. Your odds are alot better of getting a good quarterback.
