Quote:It's a valid point,.   I would say there are exceptions, but in general, having the worst record means you are the worst team.  Kansas City was an aberration.   I don't know how they managed to lose all those games with that roster, but they certainly didn't do it on purpose, and having the first pick didn't propel them into the playoffs because they spent the first pick in the draft on a guy who is currently an average RT.  

 

What is this argument about, anyway?   We can't choose to win or lose.   So I guess we're arguing about whether we should be happy with winning.    Which is really a pointless argument, because whether we're happy or not doesn't affect anything.   So why not choose to be happy winning?

I don't buy the aberration theory. The year before that the Colts had the first pick and again, talent wise they were far from the worst team. Granted, they likely tanked, but the point remains, draft order isn't a referendum on overall talent. Thus the argument that we should be happy with a lower pick because it would mean we were a better team doesn't really hold water.
