How Important Is A Top Draft Pick?

#13

Quote:In a perfect world where the top 5 teams took the 5 best players it would matter more. But the truth is regardless of where you draft evaluating the talent and making the right selection is priority.

 

No team is going to lose on purpose, I know TMD and others are cheering for it, that's fine I don't mind losing either but I'm not going to pretend we are trying not to win games. Nor would I agree that any win is meaningless, I don't buy for a minute that knowing how to win as an organization happens when we magically get better players.

 

Some people (not you specifically) are pretending that the only way to turn this around is to get the 1st overall pick and take the next sure fire hit at QB Bridgewater. Bridgewater might be the next best thing at QB, he might not be, but lets stop pretending it's Bridgewater or bust. Make the right selections and we can turn this around I don't care where we draft, just get it right Jaguars.
 

I agree completely with the idea in bold that irrespective of draft position, it is imperative for the team to pick the right player.

 

As to the italicized portion, I am not sold on the proposition that one win out of a 2 win season somehow imbues the team with knowledge on how to win.  The Jaguars won that late game against the Colts in 2011, and has been 3-22 since then.  Besides, since very few teams have gone winless since the merger, then all teams have knowledge of winning to some degree or another.  The difference then becomes talent.

 

More on the underlined portion later.

 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!
