Drafting #1 doesn't really change the culture or your team (maybe Cincy as the exception). Selecting a player top 1-3 in the draft has a ton of "misses" than "hits" over the last two decades. Simply a shot in the dark. You could end up with a Jamarcus Russell just as easily as a Joe Burrow.

You still need to draft the right guy & most teams don't.

My .02.

I could be wrong, but methinks it's harder to draft a bust today than yesteryear in the very early first round picks. The stakes are so high now, teams do a better job of due diligence on those early picks.
