Was just reading this.....sorta interesting.

2008 First-Place Finish Percentage

Now, let's look at the success rate of each draft slot. In 2006, the third slot produced the highest percentage of first-place finishes at 16.49 percent. The 11th slot produced the least amount with just a 4 percent first-place finish mark. In 2007, the No. 1 pick dominated with 15.64 percent first-place finishes while the 11th spot once again was last with 4.22 percent.

The 2008 draft has a slightly different result despite the consistency of the RB and WR trends. Although we see the highest rate of success as the second draft slot, the eighth slot surprisingly had the same amount of success. For the first time we see a pretty even amount of first-place finishes throughout the draft slots, but as the draft spot get lower, so does the percentage of success on average. For the third year in a row, the 11th spot has the lowest success rate. The elbow, pick No. 12, had the second-least success. The same rate for the third straight year also.

Picking first meant finish first 8.37 percent

Picking second meant finish first 9.31 percent Highest

Picking third meant finish first 9.20 percent

Picking fourth meant finish first 9.02 percent

Picking fifth meant finish first 8.21 percent

Picking sixth meant finish first 8.89 percent

Picking seventh meant finish first 8.68 percent

Picking eighth meant finish first 9.31 percent Highest

Picking ninth meant finish first 7.54 percent

Picking 10th meant finish first 7.92 percent

Picking 11th meant finish first 5.07 percent Lowest

Picking 12th meant finish first 5.38 percent

      Seattle was a run heavy team

      I believe you are correct. Everyone remembers that record setting drubbing of the Broncos but that was the highlight of their season. They have very good coaching overall and they have a ton of talent. With a better QB they could have knocked off the Chiefs IMO. We aren't even in the conversation of the Dolphins until proven otherwise. We couldn't even get in the end zone against the lowly Chicago Bears. We got shutout and blown out by the CJ Beathard led Jaguars for fugs sake. We can't even compete with bad teams let alone run up the score on them. To me if I'm being completely realistic if I'm the GM and my job is on the line and I feel like Tua is Bryce Young's ceiling I'm drafting QB in the first round next year unless he just magically has a season like Stroud did last year. That's it. I'm genuinely not trying to be abrasive about this it just gets really mind numbing eventually that we keep lowering the bar down down down down down and it's like hey it's fine to have expectations. And if you have a young QB in his prime and he isn't giving you at least prime Jake Delhomme arm talent it's time to keep looking for a QB.

      Mingo stat. Lost yards on uncatchable balls

      Not exactly.  They show that Jones was making the most of the opportunities he had.  I was never a fan of his, but I think that the talent level in NE last year is somehow escaping the massive negative attention it should have received.  That team was terrible - especially the talent and coaching on offense - and everyone was still afraid of the wrath of hoodie. He'll have a chance to restart his career at some point.  He was a middle of the pack QB as a rookie.  Plenty of teams out there would love to make it up to middle of the pack at QB.
