I'm tired of hearing how our wins are getting us a worse player.
Yes, talent can be found throughout the draft. No one denies that. But the probability of getting better talent skyrockets the closet you get to pick 1. Cherry picking guys outside of the top 8 over the last 16 years makes an impressive list, but not nearly as making a list of the players taken in the top 5 over that same stretch.
