Yea, but that doesn't mean draft position doesn't matter.

What if, in 2010, the won a meaningless game and it dropped them to, let's say, #6 or #7.

AJ Green goes #4, Julio Jones goes #6. We miss out on both.

Then in the 2nd round, San Francisco decides to take Dalton because he's available, and then we take Kaepernick.

Our team looks completely different.

Because of a meaningless win.

That's the kind of stuff that could truly affect this franchise. But a win back in 2010? It would have zero impact today.

That's why I call this line of thinking narrow minded.

The idea that winning one more game is developing a "winner's attitude" that "may or may not cultivate a winning atmosphere" in the following year, but missing that one key player in the draft by a pick or two could lead to your team failing for an additional 5 to 10 years.
