Obviously, it’s a multifaceted problem. One of the factors is not just if you have a top ten (or 15 etc) pick. It’s if you have a high enough pick to nab a “capable” QB and your team/organization is good enough to help them succeed. Payton never drafted a QB but he never needed to until Brees retired. Pittsburgh went a long time with Roth. If Payton would have stayed the Saints coach he likely would have done something to grab a QB early (like in place of Penning) to fill the void.

Mahomes is an example from the player’s side of going to the right team. Now he’s a great talent who likely would be a successful QB most anywhere, but I don’t think he would have accomplished what he has so far with Reid in KC had he gone to say Houston.
