How many quarterbacks were drafted before Tom Brady in the 2000 National Football League draft?

There were 6 quarterbacks drafted before Tom Brady in the 2000 National Football League draft. They were Chad Pennington - Marshall University; Giovanni Carmazzi - Hofstra; Chris Redman - Louisville; Tee Martin - Tennessee; Marc Bulger - West Virginia; and Spergon Wynn - Texas State.

Tom Brady was the 7th quarterback drafted that year and the 199th player chosen.

As far as success, Pennington played 8 years and although he played in 4 playoff games, never appeared in a Super Bowl nor named to the pro bowl; Carmazzi never played in an NFL game; Redman played 8 years, but only started 6 games; Martin played 3 years with no starts; Bulger, who had a successful career, played 8 seasons and although never made it to the Super Bowl, was named to 2 pro bowls; and Wynn played only 2 seasons and started only 3 games.

Brady, drafted by the New England Patriots and is in his 17th season with the same team, has won 4 Super Bowls, received 3 Super Bowl MVP's, and 2 regular season MVP's. Brady played in 2 additional Super Bowls losing them, and will be playing in his 7th Super Bowl on February 5, 2017. The 199th pick and 7th QB picked in the 2000 draft has now been debated by many as the greatest quarterback to ever play in the NFL. Should he win his 5th (an NFL record), there may be no further debate.
