Great, but that doesn't answer the question within a historical context.

With context there is no one picking ahead to keep you from making your fug up.

You can hit anywhere, but mathematically speaking, of course.

I get it, math is good on paper. In a practical and historical sense, does it really make that big of a difference? Top 10 vs top one, for example, is the mathematical  difference that huge, especially when juxtaposed against real results?

Most of the top twenty the percentage seems similar it only matters for people who fall in love with one player.

History isn't practical though, it just is or was. It doesn't change preset day, don't change this into the gambler's fallacy.

Now, having said that, it's still pretty damn hard to make the right selection. It's why the best quarterback can and does get selected later. That's on scouting though, it has nothing really to do with historical draft selections.

Yeah Hurney should have been GM on one night a year, the first round of the NFL draft.

Haven't we done that in the last two drafts without him, though?

We're calling T-Law a bust 1 1/2 seasons in?  The fug?
