Quote:Yeah its funny, look at the great teams in the league these days none of them are doing it with the number one pick.  They are doing it with good drafts year in and year out.

 

GB- their QB was drafted at the end of round 1 has 1 a SB and they just have a history of good drafts

Pit.- their QB was drafted at middle of the 1st has one 2 SB and they have a history of good drafts

Sea.- their QB was drafted in the 3rd, same with them solid players every year in the draft

SF- their QB was drafted in the 2nd had the 1st pick and took a QB but he isnt even on the team anymore but they have stockpiled on good players threw the drafted that wasn't 1st overall. 

NE- their QB was drafted in the 6th has won 3 SBs and the team has also had good drafts

Saints- their QB was drafted in the 2nd and they won a SB

Ravens- their QB was drafted in the middle of the 1st and they won a SB and they have also had a good history with solid drafts.

Giants- Eli was the first pick overall but one could argue their D carried them to the playoffs and I think they would of won the SB with Rivers or Big Ben who came out in the same year with those Giants teams

Raiders-  1st pick overall a QB selected and he is out of the league

Panthers- 1st pick overall a QB selected and Cam is decent but they would be better right now if the took AJ Green, Julio Jones, or JJ Watt in the 1st and took Colin Kapernick in the 2nd

Lions- 1st pick overall a QB Stafford is good but Calvin makes him look a lot better than he is and they have made the playoffs 1 time.

Colts- Luck and Peyton was a good deal for them at 1st overall but Teddy is no Luck or Peyton and it funny for the

 

 

See the trend here people?  You don't need the number 1 overall pick and the number one overall pick probably 80% of the time doesn't even turn out to be the best player in that draft.  You just have to hit on your picks year in and year out.
