Colts, Steelers, Cardinals, Patriots, Chargers, Texans, Saints, Packers.
They may have drafted a high guy here and there, but they found a QB to run the team with average lines.

Why did you use those teams to make your point? Only the Colts and the Chargers used a high draft pick on their QB. The rest are mid 1st round, free agent, 6th round, free agent, free agent, late 1st round.
To answer your question though, the Cardinals drafted OT Levi Brown #5 overall in 2007 and got Kurt Warner cheap through free agency. The Jets took D'Brickashaw Ferguson #4 overall and went to the playoffs with Pennington. The Saints took Jamaal Brown high and got Brees through free agency.
