QBs and where/how they are drafted are often wrong. NFL teams routinely miss on guys.

Tom Brady was a 6th round pick.

Todd Blackledge and Tony Eason were drafted before Dan Marino.

Joe Montana was a 3rd round pick.

Russell Wilson was a 3rd round pick, Ryan Tannehill was drafted ahead of him.

Drew Brees was a 2nd round pick.

Dan McGwire and Todd Marinovich were drafted ahead of Brett Favre.
Bit of a butterfly effect too. What if Montana was drafted by the Falcons? What if Aikman was drafted by the Bengals and didn't have all those weapons around him? What if someone like Jim Everett landed on the Cowboys with Emmit & Michael Irvin? So much of a Qbs success depends on environment
