The thing about "elite" QB talent is that actually finding it is a crap shoot.

Looking at the starters in the NFL last week the #1 overall picks in 4 of the last 5 drafts were starting QBs on Sunday. The one exception? Mahomes, who's probably the best in the League right now who was taken 10th in 2017. And people have been up and down on lots of QB draft picks like:

2016 - Goff and Wentz who went 2nd and he's awful now too.
2017 - Trubisky (2), Watson (12) are both less than Mahomes
2018 - Mayfield (Meh) and Darnold (3, Awful) with Josh Allen (7) and Lamar (32) the best of that bunch so far
2019 - Kyler and Daniel Jones (6, meh) are both about as good as GM15 from that draft, the WFT already dumped their overdrafted QB while Denver has an injury prone 2nd round guy they kind of like.
2020 - Burrow doesn't have enough games yet but looks good, Herbert would still be on the bench if Tyrod Taylor didn't puncture a lung.

That's a lot of draft capital used to get a bunch of guys who aren't saviors. Go back any earlier and the next youngest #1 QB is Stafford who is in his 11th year and hasn't won anything.

Bottom line, every draft has can't miss guys who miss. Not to say we shouldn't try, but even if they hit on a star that one guy can't win by himself without coaching and a team around him.
