Picking first also turned around the Bengals organization when they selected Carson Palmer. |

Good coaching turned around the Bengals. Do you really think that you could just plug Palmer into any crappy team and they would suddenly be contenders? It doesn't work that way. Ask Pheonix and Detroit how drafting early has turned them into SB contenders.... |

But how many years did picking first NOT turn around that team? Picking top 5 is not the cure all you are making it out to be.

Jimmy Johnson and the Cowboys did smething amazing by raping everyone in the draft and creating a dynasty in Dallas.
But because of him it is impossible to get more than a draft pick is worth. Rebuilding is a risk just like drafting in the top ten is no sure thing. I'll take what we have in a heartbeat. |

Fine, you don't have to lose to rebuild. That is where I part ways with the "lose for higher draft picks" crowd, especially after the first fucking game of the fucking season. fuck.
