Those are the QBs of the 8 division leaders (+Seattle) right now. Only Mahomes is a top 10 pick, and only 3 of 9 are even first round picks.
Here are the current starting QBs that were top 10 picks.
Murray (1)
Ryan (3)
Allen (7)
Trubisky (2)
Mayfield (1)
Rivers (4)
Goff (1)
Darnold (3)
Wentz (2)
Winston (1)
Tannehill (8)
Jones (6)
Mahomes (10)
I know which list of QBs I'm taking and it's the one that doesn't have a single top 5 pick on it.

That's really cherry-picking your data though. The historical evidence is pretty strong that QBs taken in the first round are far more likely to put up better careers than those taken in the later rounds.
