That's not what I criticized about your earlier post.  You said:Good teams often decline as a result of things like injuries, aging, and free agency. Draft position has relatively little to do with it.Every year there are busts and gems littered throughout the draft.  A team's success in churning new talent is more dependent on their scouting departments and finding athletes that fit their system than on draft position.  There are franchises that have been competitive for over a decade despite regularly drafting late (e.g., Packers, Patriots, Steelers) while other franchises with great picks for several years have struggled (e.g., Jaguars, Browns).  Draft order is not the reason some franchises succeed while others flounder.  That was my point.</blockquote>
