Don't even get me started on 2010. Only 1 of the first 3 picks were offensive players. Granted, 2011, their first 4 picks were all offense, but in 2012, only 5 of the first 6 were offensive players including trading up for a QB in the first.

Could you imagine if they had drafted Matt Ryan? They would have probably wound up drafting a bunch of offensive players with high picks and wouldn't even have Pat White, Chad Henne, and Ryan Tannehill to show for their two second rounders, a first rounder, plus the picks they traded away to move up for Tannehill.

But, can you prove they still wouldn't have taken those same guys?
