I'm trying to remember the last time a Super Bowl contending team used their first round draft choice on a quarterback. Normally teams that appear in their conference championship game don't have an issue at that position.

I can't think of an example either.

It'll be interesting to see how Cutler does with a team that's all but clinched a playoff spot.

Denver Broncos in 1992. Drafted Tommy Maddox in the first round after losing the AFC championship the year before.
