Heck, I'll even throw 2015 out there. When the Bucs took Winston and the Titans took Mariota, did you say anything other than, "Shit QBs picked at the top of a shit draft for QBs."

I thought both Mariota and Winston (despite what I felt about him for his off-field incidents, slotted him behind Mariota because of those reasons and the fact that I'm just partial to the Pac-12 being an alumnus of Cal) were legitimate potential Franchise guys. I felt the same about Derek Carr when he came out and thought that he was clearly the best guy in that draft class due to a number of reasons (didn't like Bortles or Bridgewater nearly as much in that draft and thought Carr should have been 1st off the board). Thought the 2013 NFL draft class was shit (This one isn't too much better).
2016 I only had Wentz and Goff as guys worth a 1st. I thought Goff would suck year 1 on the Rams due to their shit coaching, terrible line, and lack of good WRs, and I was right. Thought Wentz would do better than Goff because of his situation. The only real surprise for me was Prescott and the number of wins he managed to get with the Cowboys, but I still don't think he would have had anywhere near the same success if he didn't happen to play for the team with the best OL, running game, and just overall offensive support in the league. He pretty much hit the jackpot.
