I know this is going far back, but they did also draft Dave Wilson with a first round pick in the supplemental draft. They also traded a first to Dallas for Steve Walsh.

Regardless, it's crazy that in the 58 year history of this franchise they have only used three first round picks on QBs and none since 1990 when they traded for Walsh. Most important position on the field and only 3 first round picks in 58 years.

Some of that goes to the personalities of the head coaches during those periods.

Four head coaches in a row whose background was either defense (Bum, Mora and Haslett) or simply being a meathead (Ditka). And even Payton, the best coach in team history by several country miles, would've had a free agent (Brees) or a trade (Romo, if Miami had stuck with Brees) as his QB going forward in 2006.
