This year 3 QBs were drafted in the 60s.
The only QB in the last 15 years drafted in the 60s was Jimmy Garroppolo, the Patriots 62nd pick in 2014.
The Bucs are the only Superbowl Team in the last 30 years to use their pick #32 on a QB. Tavaris Jackson was the 64th pick in 2006, however, Pittsburg had traded the pick to the Vikings.
Charlie Frye 67 and Andrew Walter 69 were in 2005, the only year with two. Charlie Batch and Kordell Stewart were both pick #60. That's it, six 60s QBs in the last 30 years. One every five years (50 picks) on average, until this year.
One thing I find interesting about this range is it covers the best teams at the end of Rd 2 (60-64) and the worst teams at the beginning of Round 3 (65-69). Neither of those two groups like to use this spot to get a QB until this year.
So what to make of it? Frye, Walter, Stewart, Batch, Jackson, Garoppolo. All of them made the team and played a few years at least. None became franchise QBs, Garoppolo being the closest, but the 49ers just drafted his replacement. They have been backups/spot starters. Do any of the three drafted this year including Kyle Trask project to be anything other than a backup, fill-in starter? I don't think so.
