Where does this mindset come from? The rams swung big on Goff, missed, and won a lombardi in the process The niners gave up the farm for Lance, haven't even played him, and have found themselves as one of the best teams in the NFC for the last four to five years. First round picks are great, but they aren't the end all be all to building a winning team in the nfl and not having one for two years, sure as hell shouldn't be a prerequisite for a decade of failure. The panthers drafted Jason Peter, no pick due to the Gilbert trade in 99, and Rashard Anderson in 2000 (basically forfeiting three consecutive years of first round picks). They were in the superbowl in 2003.
