Where did I say there was no luck involved? At some level, every pick is lucky. The Colts are lucky they drafted #1 in the years of Manning and Luck. The Chiefs aren't lucky in that way.
What I said was that saying they were lucky is stupid, specifically because

Every pick in the draft is an educated guess, and every pick except #1 overall is a product of what teams in front do with their picks.
