When was the last time, if ever, the 16th ranked player or worse went #1 overall in the NFL Draft?

Going off Scouts Inc. final rankings:

SCOUTS INC.'S TOP 32

Player Pos. School Grade

1. Marcell Dareus DT Alabama 97

2. Von Miller OLB Texas A&M 97

3. Patrick Peterson CB LSU 97

4. A.J. Green WR Georgia 97

5. Blaine Gabbert QB Missouri 96

6. Robert Quinn DE N. Carolina 96

7. Prince Amukamara CB Nebraska 96

8. Da'Quan Bowers DE Clemson 95

9. Julio Jones WR Alabama 95

10. Tyron Smith OT USC 95

11. Nick Fairley DT Auburn 94

12. J.J. Watt DE Wisconsin 94

13. Aldon Smith DE Missouri 93

14. Corey Liuget DT Illinois 93

15. Muhammad Wilkerson DE Temple 93

16. Cam Newton QB Auburn 93

17. Mike Pouncey C Florida 93

18. Anthony Castonzo OT B.C. 93

19. Cameron Jordan DE California 92

20. Nate Solder OT Colorado 92

21. Mark Ingram RB Alabama 92

22. Gabe Carimi OT Wisconsin 91

23. Ryan Kerrigan DE Purdue 91

24. Adrian Clayborn DE Iowa 91

25. Kyle Rudolph TE Notre Dame 90

26. Jake Locker QB Washington 90

27. Akeem Ayers OLB UCLA 89

28. Stephen Paea DT Oregon State 89

29. Cameron Heyward DE Ohio State 88

30. Aaron Williams CB Texas 88

31. Brooks Reed DE Arizona 87

32. Brandon Harris CB Miami (FL) 87

Drafting Cam Newton would be the Panthers going from Foxball to Vegas, feeling lucky?

Wouldn't he actually be considered T-13?

sure

because I don't think Richardson has suddenly become a huge gambler with Fox gone, the more I think about it I'm leaning that all this Cam talk is one big bluff for a trade. If trade doesnt' come they settle with AJ Green over Defense(though defense very possible), give Claussen/moore/Vet one more year and take QB in top 10 next year.

Its very logical to conclude top 10 pick very likely next season.

Cam Newton is the only player that could tempt the right team into a trade up(Redskins, Raiders, Cowboys...looking at you).

If we go Newton I hope we get some OL later in the draft and through the shortened free agency period. What I really hate is that new coaching hire teams get 3 minicamps instead of 1 and we're missing all that time.. last time I checked Newton didnt come from a Pro style offense and he ran it just about as many times as he threw it.

When was the last time a team with the #1 overall draft pick who was dead last in offense didn't take a QB.

ok, but going off general consensus Gabbert is the safer pick. he's #5 on Scouts

They really screwed themselves trading #33 away, could've got Mallet, Dalton, Ponder, Locker with that and got their stud DT or WR or Peterson at #1 to go with them.

Where was Tom Brady before he got drafted?

what does Brady have to do with gambling with the #1 overall pick?

By that logic, we should be looking at TJ Yates #1 or some late round QB we think may be the next Brady to take #1 overall.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
