Question

In the Super Bowl era, what's the only franchise that has never started a quarterback who was a top-5 overall pick in the draft?

Answer

Green Bay. Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers, in hindsight, should have been top-5 picks, but they were not. Six other teams have never drafted such a quarterback but have obtained them in trades and free agency, including Arizona (Carson Palmer), Baltimore (Vinny Testaverde), Buffalo (Drew Bledsoe), Denver (Elway/Manning), Kansas City (Alex Smith) and Minnesota (Sam Bradford).

How high did the Pack draft Rich Campbell back around '81 (give or take a year or two)?

And, of course, Bart Starr (MVP, Super Bowls I & II) was a....
17th round draft pick.

The Pack has done OK with picking QBs late.
