It doesn't matter if it's no 1 or no 71 if you make the right pick you're a genius.
Missing on a QB in the top 10 is not an unforgivable sin.

(The article also states that a couple of other players with the same CAV would include Rodney Harrison and Corey Dillon.)

Alex proves that average out.
THat said it's only true because most are huge booms or huge busts.
All drafts have Manning's and Leaf's.
The entire point is to have a GM and scouting dept. able to tell which is which. The point is to have people that can identify the possibles and the probables.
If you don't not only will that pick bust but most that follow will as well...
