This will mess with your draft history narrative...

[Cyberjag]

A guy on Reddit did an analysis of draft picks for the past 15 years.  He rated each team's draft picks by Pro Football Reference's AV.  He calculated average number of picks, average AV, pro bowlers, etc..  Then he assembled it all in an easy to read spreadsheet, so you can compare how your team has done vs. the rest of the league.  WARNING:  If you hate Hurney better not go any further.

So, according to this, we're the second best drafting team in the league? Glad we have a bunch of trophies and rings to prove it

That has to do with Coaching more then anything else, if Doug P would have went Scary kicking fg like some coaches we know I think they would have lost but coaching put them over the top.

Drafting well is just part of the equation.

His bad draft picks was one thing, the bad contracts was even worse. Failure to draft a Franchise QB until 2011 was a disaster.

Ron and Shula have held this team back for years.

While Jake Delhomme wasn't a franchise type of QB he was a winner and performed quite well until his surgery on his arm.  

Bad Contracts and some really bad picks in crucial rounds was, by far, his downfall.

Wins...losses...big picture... That's all that matters.

I'm sure if you wanted and you tried hard enough, you could put a positive spin on Matt Millen as a GM too.

Reality: If you have to go to this much effort to make somebody look like they're good at something, they're not.

Mister and Frash......what a surprise. Too funny.

Someone out there doesn't hate what I hate.....must get to work.

I think they page each other

Nah.

We have, however, been known to actually contribute things that are worth discussing as opposed to just sitting back and whining and bitching about other people's posts.

You should try it sometime.
