In the last 30 years, going back to the 1983 draft, the #1 pick has been traded:
1983 Bitchass Elway cries his way out of Indy. Obviously Indy lost big time.
1984 Pats traded 2 first rounders to get the #1 pick. Selected Irving Fryer. Bengals got Pete Koch and Brian Blados. Cincy loses.
2001 Chargers traded #1 pick to Falcons for Vick. Got LT and Brees. Didn't win shit. Falcons made the NFC title game, then Vick went to jail. Chargers lost.
2004 Chargers traded Eli for a shitload of pro-bowlers. Lost big time.
The point is when a team trades out of the top slot you get your ass handed to you. ALWAYS. There's a reason it doesn't happen very often.
But true fans like Frankie can convince themselves otherwise....
