Watson (2017,#12)- Star with attitude
Mahones (2017#10) - possibly the next GOAT

Mayfield (2018,#1) - Mixed
Darnold (2018, #3) - DUD
Allen (2018, #7) - Mixed but rising
Rosen (2018, #10) - BUST
Jackson(2018, #32) - Star

Murray (2019, #1) - Rising with ?
Jones (2019,#6) - Mixed
Haskins(2019, #15) - BUST

So depending on how you rank them, out of 11 1st round qb's since 2017
you have
2 to 3 elite (Mahones, Jackson, Watson)
2 to 4 mixed but definitely need time to grow (Mayfield, Allen, Jones, Murray)
3 to 4 busts or duds (Darnold, Tribulsky, Haskins, Rosen)

Drafting a qb, even in the first round is no guarantee - even with good scouting, evaluation and sound FO choices.

Drafting is the solution to ALOT of team issues, but QB talent is best examined on the NFL field of play and if you can get a proven QB it is worth trading for.

That said, the level of proven talent available now dropped significantly with Stafford gone

Tell that to Brady, Russell Wilson, Prescott, Cousins. You can find a diamond in the draft.
