Also, you are 100% wrong in your assessment that you draft a top QB only if a great one falls in your lap. You are also wrong about defenses and "running game" will take places. I'm sorry, but it's the exact opposite. A defense and a great QB will take you places. This isn't the 80's-90's anymore where the league was centered around a strong running game and a stout defense. This is a QB driven league. Look no further than the list of Super Bowl MVPs over the past decade to see that you need either a dominate defense or a passing game to win.

Super Bowl 34 2000 QB - Kurt Warner Rams
Super Bowl 35 2001 LB - Ray Lewis Ravens
Super Bowl 36 2002 QB - Tom Brady Patriots
Super Bowl 37 2003 S - Dexter Jackson Buccaneers
Super Bowl 38 2004 QB - Tom Brady Patriots
Super Bowl 39 2005 WR - Deion Branch Patriots (Tom Brady QB)
Super Bowl 40 2006 WR - Hines Ward Steelers (ben roethlisberger QB)
Super Bowl 41 2007 QB - Peyton Manning Colts
Super Bowl 42 2008 QB - Eli Manning Giants
Super Bowl 43 2009 WR - Santonio Holmes Steelers (roethlisberger QB)
Super Bowl 44 2010 QB - Drew Brees Saints


How many RBs you see on that list? Not a single one. Yet you see multiple WRs and QBs on that list. The only 2 that are up there not a QB or WR are two positions that were on two of the most dominate defenses this past decade. (Tampa Bay/Baltimore)

Super Bowl MVP amounts to a hill of beans IMO, league MVP yes is worth of some note. SB MVP I mean it is one game, anybody can have one great game, see Timmy Smith.
