Wrong.
In the modern NFL, you cannot "draft a super bowl". You can only draft contention for a super bowl. Too much luck and injury situation play a part.
The Patriots have been serious contenders 4 of the last 6 years - - which we all see as a relative catastrophe. The two other years, they went 10-6 and 11-5.
The fact that you compare that to the Redskins whom their own RADIO STATION (owned by Napolean Snyder himself) yesterday joked need to draft 20 of their 22 position players this week to be considered average is delusional.
I'm not comparing the franchises, I'm comparing the ending, neither team went home with the Lombardi and that's what matters, or so I've always been led to believe.
And who says we are drafting a Super Bowl? We're drafting a player for a serious position of need on an already great team. Getting to someone who can get to the QB (and sack him) is going to help out this team immensely, from the secondary on down to the offense.
And, how is a lesser known DE/OLB conversion in later rounds going to help us contend for a championship more than one of the top rated pass rushers. Every year, we draft one of these projects, we try to justify it by saying he must be a great fit and before you know it the guy is cut or traded. All I'm saying is take a chance on a pass rusher, one of the higher-rated pass rushers. Not someone who wasn't even the best pass rusher on his college team, or someone who we Google his name to find out who the **** he is.
