Since 1980, there have been 57 Pro-Bowl QB's drafted (Steve Young & Bernie Kosar were selected in the 1st-round of the supplemental draft in 1984 and 1985, respectively)

Excluding Young & Kosar,

25 (45.45%) were drafted in the 1st round.
7 (12.72%) were drafted in the 2nd round.
6 (10.90%) were drafted in the 3rd round.
2 (3.636%) were drafted in the 4th round.
1 (1.818%) was drafted in the 5th round.
7 (12.72%) were drafted in the 6th round.
1 (1.818%) was drafted in the 7th round.
3 (5.454%) were drafted in the 8th round.
1 (1.818%) was drafted in the 9th round.
1 (1.818%) was in the 10th round.
1 (1.818%) was in the 11th round.

In that time, there have been 64 QB's selected in the first round, so you have a 39% chance of going to at least 1 Pro-Bowl if you're chosen there.

The best multi-year Pro-Bowl QB's not selected in Round 1 have been:

Drew Brees - (4 Pro-Bowls), drafted 2001, Round 2, pick 32 (2nd QB taken)
Marc Bulger - (2 Pro-Bowls), drafted 2000, Round 6, pick 168 (6th QB taken)
Tom Brady - (5 Pro-Bowls), drafted 2000, Round 6, pick 199 (7th QB taken)
Matt Hasselbeck - (3 Pro-Bowls), drafted 1998, Round 6, pick 187 (7th QB taken)
Mark Brunell - (3 Pro-Bowls), drafted 1993, Round 5, pick 118 (4th QB taken)
Trent Green - (2 Pro-Bowls), drafted 1993, Round 8, pick 222 (8th QB taken)
Brad Johnson - (2 Pro-Bowls), drafted 1992, Round 9, pick 227 (13th QB taken)
