Other than the two Mannings, I can't recall a quarterback picked in the top 10 who started for a team that won the superbowl. That's a long time. Am I wrong?

Well, yes you're wrong actually. Going back only as far as 1960 for the draft year, besides the Mannings, there's Namath, Griese, Bradshaw, Plunkett, Simms, McMahon, Elway, and Aikman. Roethlisberger was drafted 11th so that's close enough.

If you make it "went to a superbowl" instead of "won," you can add Ryan, McNabb, Bledsoe, McNair, Newton, and Morton.

Not sure I got em all.

Going back just to 1960 for the draft year leaves out Dawson.

  So Faulk wasn't an elite RB because he never topped the league in yards
