But I think that, from an impact standpoint, Wilson, Pratt, Shooter, Higgins, Burrow, Chase.... All incredible careers so far.

Compare that to the higher end picks of Marvin's era and I think ZT comes out ahead. ZT has had MUCH better FA signings, which is why the team has had monster success.... but ZT also drafts different types of guys than Marvin. No question. That had overcome the lack of developing draft picks.

Bingo. That and Burrow.
