Not really disagreeing with your overall point. just saying on this example, come on man. You're being a little disingenuous.
So the Chargers "didn't win shit" as in didn't win the SB. Lets not pretend like they would have with Vick.
They passed on an exciting but overrated, disappointing career QB and got a HOF RB and a great QB they either let go before his prime or couldn't figure out the magic formula (that Sean Payton did). But the point stands that they drafted another future HOF player with that next pick.
Just saying this is a bad example IMO for what you're tryinig to say. That trade was a home run for the Chargers.
