Teams that draft well do so no matter where they pick. Teams that draft poorly do so no matter where they pick. I want my team to win games and draft well.
Except there's a world of difference between landing a guy like Wilkerson or Richardson which were both excellent draft picks (but both aren't QB's)
And landing on a guy who can carry your franchise for 10-15 years at QB
Elite QB prospects don't stay on the board long.
Guys like Kaep and Wilson fell because they didn't fit the "mold". But I suspect those two will impact future drafts.
Even shitty franchises can land great players with the right picks.
Look at freaking Detroit. They were one of the worst teams in the history of all sports.
It ended up getting them suh, fairley, Stafford, and Johnson.
Had they won 2 more games or so in each of those seasons they wouldn't have the 3 best players in their team
And now they're a pretty freaking good team because they sucked their way into a franchise defining player.
A few spots at the top of a draft is absolutely huge
