Maybe we should look into Mitch Trubiski?

You forgot to mention Lamar Jackson. You are naming outliers, this has been broken down before. Best chance to get a franchise QB is in the top 15 picks, after that the odds start dropping, and once out of the first round they drop dramatically.

Feel free to identify the next outlier in this group though.

Another thing to note is a QB that gets drafted later usually goes to a better team as opposed to a crappy team at the top of the draft. Easing that transition to the NFL can help a lot.
