First vs. Best
-
your logic is flawed.
You ranked 1st QB against all other slots.
If you looked at the percentages of all slots (1st QB taken vs 2nd vs 3rd vs 4th etc.) Im sure 1st QB taken has by far the best percentage.
Yup... it's a "1st vs. The Field" exercise. Among many factors that render it useless. Does not mean it is uninteresting, however.
Yup... it's a "1st vs. The Field" exercise. Among many factors that render it useless. Does not mean it is uninteresting, however.
Sure, there is no real practical use for this other than as I said....knowing that the first QB taken is more often than not not the best QB to come out of a particular draft.
I mean....if a team has the opportunity to take the top QB available, and if they need one....they should take him regardless of the above statistic. That team should not wait around and say "oh, we will wait to take the 2d QB in this draft because the first one taken has only a 38% chance of success". You take that QB if you want him.....provided that there is not a more talented prospect to take at another position that you need as well. Then, if you get that other more talented player you might be willing to take a chance on the 2d/3rd/6th QB taken

So far in their short careers the Transvestite has the better stats by just a bit. Of course it remains to be seen who will ultimately come out the best. Carr could be it....but my money would go with Bortles.

Not sure what you mean by better stats.
Carr is 698 completions 1,172 attempts 7,257 yards 53 TDs 25 Int
Bridgewater is 551 completions 841 attempts 6,150 yards 28 TDs 21 Ints
Carr has more yards, more yards per start, more yards per attempt, nearly twice as many TDs, lower int %, much lower sack % ...
The only meaningful stat that Bridgewater is better is completion percentage, which is easily attributable to the fact that plays a much more conservative game on a better team with the leagues 4th ranked running game (Raiders were 29th).

Bridgewater has a better CA....for what that's worth. But by all means I agree with you that if I were picking one of them now for the future I would take Carr over Bridgewater (and why is it that when you type Bridgewater now it comes out right instead of Twatwater?
This is actually one of those too soon to tell cases. Or too close to call cases. Arguable. But I think the basic concept of the first QB taken in a draft of having about a 35-40% chance of being the best QB in a draft still holds.
Though...in some cases it doesn't matter.
You would take either a John Elway #1 taken....or a Dan Marino #6 taken.
And you would want no part really of an EJ Manuel #1 taken or a Geno Smith #2 taken.
As someone said....this exercise is just interesting entertainment.

Let's apply this to another position: Wide Receiver. I will list the first WR taken in drafts (this time only going back to 1990), then the best WR taken in that draft....at their position....and compare. # means first WR taken was the best:
2015 Amari Cooper # so far
2014 Sammy Watkins....Odell Beckham, 3rd WR picked (or could be too soon to tell)
2013 Tavon Austin....D'Andre Hopkins, 2d pick
2012 Justin Blackmon...Alshon Jeffrey 7th pick
2011 AJ Green/Julio Jones#....These guys picked 1 and 2 have almost identical statistics
2010 Demaryious Thomas.....Antonio Brown 23rd pick WR picked
2009 Darius Heyward-Bey....Mike Wallace 11th
2008 Donnie Aubrey....DeSean Jackson 7th
2007 Calvin Johnson #
2006 SAntonio Holmes...Brandon Marshall 14th
2005 Braylon Edwards...Roddy White 6th
2004 Larry Fitzgerald#
2003 Charles Rogers...Andre Johnson 2d
2002 Donte Stallworth...Deion Branch 11th
2001 David Terrell....Reggie Wayne 6th
2000 Peter Warrick...Plaxico Burris 2d
1999 Tori Holt#
1998 Kevin Dyson....Randy Moss 2d
1997 Ike Hilliard ...Derek Mason 9th
1996 Keyshawn....Marvin Harrison/Terrelle Owens 6th and 12th
1995 Michael Westbrook...Joey Galloway 2d
1994 Charles Johnson....Isaac Bruce 6th
1993 Curtis Conway#
1992 Desmond Howard...Jimmy Smith
1991 Herman Moore#
1990 Alexander Wright....Terence Mathis 17th pick
Only 6-7 of the first WRs taken since 1990 turned out to be the best of their WR class. About 25%. This is worse than QBs.
So...perhaps there are a couple of lessons there for the Browns this season:
A. Taking a WR further down the list may not be all that bad
B. Never take a Michigan receiver as the first WR taken in a draft...Howard, Terrelle, Braylon all flunkies as first WR taken. At least Howard has some decent kick returning skills.
Also note: just because a WR (or QB or anyone else) taken first at their position may not turn out to be the best at their position in their draft class does not mean they are a bust.
Like Sammy Watkins, Demarious Thomas, Santonio Holmes, Keyshawn Johnson. All good...perhaps even outstanding players....just someone else surpassed them.
Though, also there have been plenty of outright busts at the 1st WR position: Charles Rogers, Justin Blackmon, Braylon imo, etc.

Ya, agreed on all.
If they redrafted it would probably go Bortles, Carr, Bridgewater with all of them going in the top half of the first round, Bortles and Carr Top 5 for sure.
The guy we took ahead of Bridgewater AND Carr would go undrafted.
We are Retard. At least we were Retard. Very Recently.
We could have stayed right where we were in that draft, no draft day trades and taken:
#4 Khalil Mack
#26 Derek Carr
and still had the pick for
#35 Joel Bitionio
Instead, we got Gilbert and Manziel, and the Raiders, who were slated one spot behind us, got Mack and Carr
Pro Bowlers Mack and Carr.
It is just criminal how we draft.
It deserves its own 30 for 30 just on our drafts the past five years. It is mind blowing.

And what happened to Retard for Retard. Gettin's soft on us are you?
Or, do you think that since it appears the Browns are turning a new leaf, that you should do so as well.
For all we know, you are going to give Vagitron and the other Steeler fan vermin on here their real names back.

While duly noted as a cautionary tale, historical facts also say that the 1st QB taken has the best chance of being good, and has far more relevance.
OK.....but, as noted....so many on here are saying..."If now instead of taking the dregs of the first round....like JMZ/Weeden/Quinn...we can now get the top prospect at QB because of our #2 position, ergo, we are going to get a great franchise QB!! Hallelujah, Glory Be, Va Va Voom"......well
yea, we are in a better position than we have been in the past with those guys......but our chances go up to having the franchise player we want from like 10-15% to 38%. Better, yes. A sure thing...by no means.

We'll see Gip if Hue & company view Wentz or Goff as franchise quarterbacks. Our odds are certainly better than reaching for guys like Weeden or Manziel. (I don't think Quinn had the flaws of the previous two, but I just had a strong gut feeling he was seriously going to bust) I like the fact if someone jumps to #1 overall to take a quarterback, we still get a top prospect if we have both of them rated equally.

OK, final position to look at here: Running back. Going back to 1980. First RB taken....then "best/most productive one" and that persons draft slot at his position. # means first take was best:

1982 Darrin Nelson.....Marcus Allen 3rd
1983 Eric Dickerson#
1984 Greg Bell.....Ernest Byner 38th RB selected
1985 George Adams.....Herschel Walker #9 (would have been #1 if not for USFL contract)
1986 Bo Jackson...Keith Byars/John Williams/Ronnie Harmon/Neal Anderson all with similar career stats
1987 Alonzo Highsmith....Merrill Hoge 37th pick
1988 Gaston Green....Thurman Thomas 5th pick
1989 Barry Sanders#
1990 Blair Thomas.....Emmit Smith 2d pick
1991 Leornard Russell....Ricky Watters 6th pick
1992 Tommy Vardell...Edgar Bennett 9th pick
1993 Garrison Hearst....Jerome Bettis 2d pick
1994 Marshall Faulk#

2014 Bishop Sankey....Jeremy Hill 2d pick
2015 Todd Gurley#....so far.
Notes:
Here, about 10 times out of 35 has the first RB drafted been the best...less than 30%. Perhaps the adage: you can get RBs anywhere does apply......but not that much more than at QB.
1st QB best about 38%
1st WR best about 25%
1st RB best about 28%
Guys like Ernest Byner and Merrill Hoge would have been UFAs in today's system. Can a UFA RB become one of the best? Certainly. Wasn't Adrian Foster UFA? Maybe some hope for The Crow.
But...I think still, if you think there is a stud RB out there, you may want to go all in for him.
But I personally would avoid Alabama RBs....and Penn St. RBs at the top of the draft.

WR exception maybe D'Andre Hopkins. Due to that bitch catches anything close.(Mallet, Hoyer & Weeden). Was not with Carr?

Could you image Hopkins numbers if he ever had a QB in pros to throw to him? (it would be crazy) Mallet & Hoyer. Yuk. Think QB David Carr might have been their Hopkins rookie year only & Hopkins sat behind Andre Johnson?

LOL, around a 30% chance Gip. Let's look at the draft value chart for teams that might want to move up. (just QB needy teams- or potentially needy)
#2 to #1 Browns- 1st, - 3rd & 4th (or next years 2nd)
#4 to #1 Dallas- 1st, 2nd, 3rd + next years 2nd.
#7 to #1 SF 1st, 2nd + next year 1st
#8 to #1 Eagles 1st, 2nd, 3rd + next years 1st
#15 to #1 Rams 1st + two more 1sts
#31 to #1 Broncos 1st, 2nd, next years 1st + Von Miller
MHO- Dallas and the Niners- if they really want a quarterback- will just sit tight, and draft the QB the Browns don't take. Those two are the only teams I'd worry about jumping to #1 overall. Jerrah says he isn't moving up, and the 49ers for the time being have a $11 million qb in Kap.
There's other teams that may want a QB- like Buffalo and Chicago- but in all likelihood, they'll just wait and take Lynch instead of giving up the King's ransom to move to #1. Ditto that for the Rams.

#2 to #1 Browns- 1st, - 3rd & 4th (or next years 2nd)
#4 to #1 Dallas- 1st, 2nd, 3rd + next years 2nd.
#7 to #1 SF 1st, 2nd + next year 1st
#8 to #1 Eagles 1st, 2nd, 3rd + next years 1st
#15 to #1 Rams 1st + two more 1sts
#31 to #1 Broncos 1st, 2nd, next years 1st + Von Miller
MHO- Dallas and the Niners- if they really want a quarterback- will just sit tight, and draft the QB the Browns don't take. Those two are the only teams I'd worry about jumping to #1 overall. Jerrah says he isn't moving up, and the 49ers for the time being have a $11 million qb in Kap.

I think that is right...and I think that is smart. Again....my opinion is that none of these QBs have the talent worthy of the #2 overall pick. And in my opinion of the Browns draft one it will be because they are reaching for need.
The one thing I think though that is happening for the Browns this year is that the analytics guys will be taking the emotion out of the draft process....perhaps even overruling Hue Jackson to do so. Emotion got us all these bad picks. Like Zombo said, if we had just stayed put and taken the emotion out of things...that "need" to be proactive and creative and trying to outthink everyone but only outthinking themselves in the process....and taken the best player on the board we could have had the likes of Sammy Watkins, Khalil Mack, David Carr etc.
