Use every pick on a QB until you find a guy who can develop into one of the league's top 5 QBs. The best QBs in the league usually go to the playoffs every year. Start that guy for the next 15 years and win a few championships. They may miss the playoffs every now and again, like Phillip Rivers this year, but they'll be in the playoffs more often than not.

Yes, they need Receivers, but did you see the guy who caught that bomb from Big Ben on 3rd and 19? Some no-name rookie. Who are the Patriots wide-outs? The Bears?

Yes, they need better pass protection, but Cutler was sacked a ton and Big Ben and Aaron Rodgers are proof that elite QBs can overcome poor pass protection.

Yes, Defense is important (see Patriots and their #25 Defense), but you can build that over time.

There are exceptions to the rule (Jets), but the Super Bowl Champs almost always have a top flight QB (Brees, Manning, Brady, Big Ben).

It's a QB-driven league. QB is the #1 ingredient to consistent winning.
