Quote:Not necessarily. You don't HAVE to have the 1st pick to be successful.

 

Joe Flacco was drafted with the 18th pick.

Aaron Rodgers was drafted with the 24th pick.

Drew Brees was drafted with the 64th pick.

Ben Roethlisberger was drafted with the 11th pick.

Tom Brady was drafted with the 199th pick.

Brad Johsnon was drafted with the 227th pick.

Trent Dilfer was drafted with 6th pick.

Kurt Warner was undrafted.

The only QBs drafted with the 1st pick to win a Super Bowl since 2000 are the Mannings.

I don't know why this is so complicated for some.


You still have to hit on your pick. If you assume you will miss, well you can miss at pick 1 or pick 28. Either way, you have to hit on your pick. But if you were picking at spot 1-11 in 2004 then you had the chance to draft Roethlisberger. If you picked after that, you didn't. I want my team to have the choice between all of the players and get the best one.
