Draft position is really meaningless at a certain point. Sure it’s more desirable to have the number 1 pick than 33 but any of the top 15 or so are really interchangeable. You could have gotten a player comparable to Walker for example nearly anywhere in the first round. 
Draft position only makes fans feel a bit better about a poor season. You play to win.

You're not wrong.  And I usually am more passionate.  But I just don't care anymore.

If we get the #1 pick, there's a chance someone wants to go all in on the shiney new QB and willing to give us multiple picks.  Getting the 2nd or 3rd pick will just be the 2nd or 3rd pick.  I'm just thinking of the long term.  Because the short term is just plain ugly.  

This win, if we get it, doesn't matter.  I don't care if we win this game or not.  Do you?  Will anyone feel really good about this win?
