The article I posted yesterday goes back 10 years to look at how consistently true that fact is, even discussing that the year CMac was the best RB in the League the team only finished 5-11. In short, RBs don't make bad teams good, but they can make good teams great, hence bad teams shouldn't take them early in the draft.

The Panthers su ked and CMC had no help and they had no QB.  Joe Thomas is  HOF QB and his team sucked the whole time he was there.  So with that logic we should take an elite tackle early

That team is good because of Shannahan and Lynch.

And in hindsight, the Jags should have taken Mahomes lol

Naw, Mahomes would of been a average QB if the Jags took him.  No Reid and really no talent around him

Joe Thomas was an elite player at a premium position. For the entire 10 years he was in Cleveland they got All Pro play and did not have to spend an single additional draft pick on a left tackle. Since ETN was drafted he's missed a year and we've spent 4 draft picks on additional running backs. Not really all that great a comparison of value if you ask me.
