From 1998 to 2010, there were 35 quarterbacks selected in the first round of the draft.

In the case of 14 quarterbacks universally considered a 'bust', 13 offensive coordinators gone within three years. Mike McCoy of the Broncos has so far survived the selection of Tim Tebow, but Josh McDaniels was fired as head coach.

JaMarcus Russell, Brady Quinn and Tim Couch are some of the more prominent first round busts.
