The Worst Super Bowl in History?
As Tom Brady and the Patriots clinched their sixth Super Bowl, even the winning team seemed bored by Sunday night's punt-a-thon.www.rollingstone.com

The Dolphins didn't make the playoffs at 5-11.

Bengals could be on the verge of a record shattering trade. The haul they could potentially get might even be to great to not do it.

Being a Dolphins fan I hope they don't go crazy with this trade. They built up a ton of draft stock and have a bunch of needs and trading too much for the first pick is just going to get Burrow killed.Source: Dolphins would love to land Joe Burrow

Read something the other day that said Cincy absolutely was not trading the #1 pick.

googling some QBs at random, this is not a ranking
Drew Brees - 1st pick second round
Aaron Rodgers - 24th pick first round
Brett Favre - 6th pick second round
Joe Montana - 26th pick third round
Tom Brady - fucking rofl
I think the only two all time great QBs that went first pick were John Elway and Peyton Manning.
The top drafted QBs of the last few years meanwhile, were Kyler Murray (1), Baker Mayfield (1), Mitch Trubisky (2), Jared Goff (1), and Jameis Winston (1). Aside from Murray that's a list of walking disappointments.
Meanwhile Mahomes went 10th, Watson went 12th, and Jackson went 32nd.

Andrew Luck was a top overall pick, fwiw. Tough to really rate his career among the all time greats, but he was very good when healthy.

Well he definitely was good enough that I wouldn't call him a bust, so that brings the list up to 3 worthwhile first pick QBs.

If the bar is simply “not a bust” then Eli has to make your list.

There's been some successful 1st overall picks. Carson Palmer and Alex Smith had non bust careers. Go back farther and you have like Aikman, Bradshaw, Plunkett, etc too. It's just a position that there's almost no true can't miss prospects for and having the first pick usually means your team is dogshit.

At first I hated AB because of what he did to the Raiders. We easily would have made the playoffs if he had been on the roster.
But honestly, I feel sorry for him now. Something is wrong with AB, he needs help. Watching this kind of talent destroy themselves is just sad.

This is probably the biggest factor working against the success of #1 picks.

Yeah he reminds me of special ed students. A lot of them just don't mature and have the mentality of a 5th grader both emotional and intellectual.

Chief's got pretty lucky when they had the #1 pick. There weren't any good quarterbacks AND Eric Fischer's stock rose dramatically that week and they took him first, despite everyone saying Luke Joeckel was best offensive lineman in the draft.
