No safety taken in the top 5 has ever had a winning record. AJ Green is the only WR Darrell Russell is the only DT Peppers and Cedric Jones are the only DEs |

WRs tend to get drafted as playmakers but are largely ineffective without a QB. I think teams overvalue WRs. Defensive tackles are self explanatory. Teams view defensive tackles as foundational pieces and CONSTANTLY draft them too early. I've had many, many long discussions about the history of NFL defensive tackles. Quite frankly, I wouldn't EVER draft one in the top 15 picks and signing them in free agency is an exercise in futility. It's by far the worst position on the field when it comes to guys flaming out. |

I just cant get over the LBs. With other positions, you can see the good players that just don't have enough of an effect on their team to win (Megatron, Fitzgerald, Suh, Mario Williams, Gonzo, Woodson, Champ, Orlando Pace, etc.), and bad players that get carried to wins (Ryan Sims had a winning record with KC). With LBs, the good ones win, and the bad ones lose, with relatively few exceptions that I can see. |

Plus, look at where those guys went, and who the QB was. Von Miller - Manning AJ Hawk - Favre, Rodgers Kevin Hardy - Brunell Trev Alberts only played 3 seasons, and they were pretty much a .500 team. |

Donks didn't have Manning when they drafted Von.

Yes. However, your post seemed to me that they had drafted Von when Manning was there. Must have misread it/not understood the post.

The 6 top 5 LBs with winning records were:
Von (still had a .500 record with Orton/Tebow, up from .250 the season before) Kevin Hardy (Brunell) Boulware (Testaverde) Willie McGinest (Bledsoe) Trev Alberts (Harbaugh) AJ Hawk (Favre) Most of these guys outlasted the QBs and kept winning, though. |

Good stuff. The very interesting part is that the quarterbacks tend to go to the worst teams and have to dig out of a hole from what is usually a bad first year. Linebackers tend to go lower in the draft.
