Case Keenum (undrafted, 2012)
Tommy Cheater (6th round pick, 2000)
Nick Foles (3rd round pick, 2012)
Blake Bortles (1st round pick, 2014)
It is arguable that the #3 overall pick from 2014 is the worst of the lot.
A Superbowl winning QB can be found in places other than the 1st round of the NFL draft. 3 of those teams are in the Championship round for things other than stellar QB play.
Again, that said, it is stupid talk to say that Luck is "done" or "damaged beyond repair" or that we should trade him. Just stupid.

BB could still win and the team would still be good if Brady retired today. Within 2 years they would be back in the AFC title game
CArson Wentz was the driving force behind the Eagles top seed and great season. First round pick
Case Keenum isn't in the NFC championship if not for an awful play by a safety.
It is an odd mix of QBs this year in the playoffs, but I think its a fluke more than anything. I would not expect it to be the norm from now on.
In the AFC, since 2002, its been a HOF QB in the SB except for a few years. Roethlisberger, Brady, Manning have been it in like 14 of the last 16 years.
