Tell you what, if you think it is harder show it instead of making a post that looks like it has all the football knowledge of a low effort Twitter post (or average reddit post). It is not that hard really. You can find a list of 1st round picks by position and ranking them is, while subjective, not hard and even subjective it is not so bad. The average QB is Tua, the average WR is far worse, the average G is far worse, the average C is better, etc.
If you think that is wrong then by all means show it. It does not even take long since sites have positions categorized already (hence how I found the QB list in 5 minutes and had a list of quality in 10). Put up or shut up.
the 1st round argument seems dumb to me because it deliberately ignores how much easier it is to find good players at other positions in other rounds whereas your odds of finding a good or even average QB outside of the 1st round is awful
but using your premise (which i think is flawed) let's work backwards and use WR given that's the first example you used... and we'll go back a decade...
2022: too early to say on Pickett at QB but we're looking at maybe 5/6 WRs hitting already and the only guy not hitting yet hasnt played yet due to health
2021: maybe 1/5 QBs hit, 4/5 WRs hit
2020: 3/4 QBs hit, 4/6 WRs hit
2019: 1/3 QBs hit, 1/2 WRs hit (and this is a great example of my earlier point about where you can find guys - this draft had like 7 elite WRs but all 7 were drafted outside the 1st round)
2018: 2/5 QBs hit, 2/2 WRs hit
2017: 2/3 QBs hit, 2/3 WRs hit
2016: 0/3 QBs hit, 1/4 WRs hit
2015: 0/2 QBs hit, maybe 3/6
2014: maybe 1/3 QBs hit, 4/5 WRs hit
2013: 0/1 QBs hit, 1/3 WRs hit (but tbh the 2 who didn't hit were more gadget players than WRs - Cordarelle Patterson hit later in his career as a RB)
ill exclude 2022 because it's too ambiguous after 3 weeks of football
QBs: 10/27 - so at best we're looking at 37%
WRs: 22/36 - at worst we're looking at 61%
and worth pointing out that, purely just in 1st round pick terms, we're looking at more WRs coming out of college who are deemed high quality talents, and also we're looking at almost double the hit rate
or we can look at OT (another high leverage position)...
2022: already looking at 3/5 hit but we'll exclude so as not to be unfair to QBs
2021: 3/4 hit
2020: 4/6 hit (Becton too injured to call a hit)
2019: 3/4 hit
2018: 3/3 hit
2017: 2/2 hit
2016: 4/5 hit
2015: 1/3 hit (not including 2 other guys drafted as tackles because they only played guard - both hit at guard)
2014: 3/4 hit
2013: 2/3 (not including 2 other guys drafted as tackles because they only played guard - and if im being unkind to dj fluker ill say 1 of 2 hit at guard)
OTs: 23/33 - which is 70%
even if we quibble over where you draw the line on specific players - the gap is so massive in terms of both volume and also hit-rate that it's meaningless to bother - and this is before we even engage with the idea of including non-1st rounders
i cant believe you've made me waste all this time on something that was self-evident
