You claim what I said is false, but you couldn't point out a single false statement in my post because it was 100% true.  If you surveyed every GM's in the NFL, I guarantee you that 32 out of 32 would say that they would have a better chance of improving their record in the following year with a higher draft pick and an easier schedule.  It's just common sense.

I disagree, I don't think 32 GMs would. I don't think 32 GMs would say you would have a better chance of improving their record if picking 3rd or 7th or 8th, if any GM would say that, they would say you just have to make the right pick regardless. Some teams pick 32nd have better drafts than the team picking 1st.  It's all about the GM.
