Top 5 draft picks 10 years
Teams that earned a top 5 pick (before any trades)
7x Jax
5x Hou
4x Cle/ LV
3x Det/ was/ nyg/ nyj
2x TB/ TN/ chi/ SF/ IND/ Den/ ARZ/ Cin
1x KC/ Phi/ LAC/ LAR/ Dal/ Mia/ ATL
0 - NE/ Buf/ Balt/ Pit/ NO/ Car/ GB/ Min/ Sea

Actual picks top 5 last 10 years
7x Jax
4x NYJ/ Hou (2 this season)
3x Cle (2 in 2018)/ LV/ NYG/ SF/ Det
2x Cin/ Mia/ Was/ TB/ TN/ Phi/ LAR
1x KC/ IND/ Sea/ ATL/ ARZ/ Den/ Chi/ Dal/ LAC/ Buf/ Car
0x - NE/ Pit/ Balt/ NO/ GB/ Min

The flip side would be teams earning the 28-32 draft pick spots (27-31 in 2016) and which teams are picking late, if at all.

Bottom 5 earned positions by record
7x GB
6x NE
5x KC/ SF
4x Den
3x LAR
2x Phi/ Cin/ Jax/ Balt/ Pit/ ATL/ Car/ Sea/ NO
1x Mia/ Buf/ TN/ LAC/ Min/ Dal/ ARZ/ Ind
0x NYJ/ Cle/ LV/ Hou/ NYG/ Was/ TB/ Det/ Chi

Of those teams that earned a bottom 5 draft slot, these teams chose to trade and did not pick in the first round:
3x KC
2x NE/ Sea
1x GB/ LAR/ Mia

3x the pick was traded before they finished a bottom 5 pick
2019 NO
2022 SF
2022 LAR
2023 SF

Teams that traded up.
2013 ATL - moved up to 22
2013 SF - moved up to 18
2015 Den - moved up to 23
2016 Den - moved up to 26
2017 ATL - moved up to 26
2019 GB (was NO) - moved up to 21
2020 GB - moved up to 26
2020 SF - moved up to 25
2022 Det (was LAR) - moved up to 12


Take this for what’s it’s worth and extrapolate whatever you want but the overwhelming trend is teams with top 5 picks repeat as top 5 picks and teams that earn bottom 5 picks typically to the late round picks.
Apply this to the idea of tanking. Top 5 is more likely to net another top 5 pick than it is GOAT and it’s not close. Statistically, picking bottom 5 is just as likely to get that GOAT.
Interesting numbers but I have to think a big part of this is the teams that are picking high consistently are just poorly run franchises. Where as the teams picking late are well run.

I think that the draft goes hand in hand with those well run franchises vs the poorly run.

The numbers are too slanted for a couple teams to be just coincidence.
 
Perfect stat for how that team is coached.
Chargers in Justin Herbert's 59 career starts, including playoffs
Points scored 1,502
Points allowed 1,502
 
CMC 747
Henry 625
Jacobs (10 games) 622
Etienne 618
Z moss 617
J cook (10 games) 615
Swift 614
Bijan Robinson (10 games) 612
Mostert 605
Walker III 595

Only 30 yards difference between #2 and #10.
Henry is also #4 in carries (40 behind Jacobs)
And his 4.2 avg is good for #6 among those top 10.
 
The Bears and Panthers get **** on regularly

We should be too.. only way to stop being complacent at sucking is to get made fun of for it
Could try the Jax strategy, keep sucking for 9 years, “win” the off-season for a 1 season run, suck for a few more years and just hope we get a GOAT QB 1 out of like 3-4 tries.
 
Saw a stat that pointed out of 33 QBs that qualify (enough playing time/snaps/ etc), only 1 has less than 5 TO this season.

while teams are drooling about Stroud, it’s not him.

it’s Kenny Pickett. Another example popping up of a safe QB and good D giving the team wins. We all know pocket stinks when compared to Mahomes, but he’s doing exactly what a team needs to do to compete for a SB trophy.

Lmao Steelers have about as much of a chance at the Superbowl as us. They're this year's Vikings
