So from the first draft I followed properly:

Year - Actual - Should Be

2008 - Jake Long - Matt Ryan

2009 - Matt Stafford - Matt Stafford

2010 - Sam Bradford - Ndamukong Suh

2011 - Cam Newton - Von Miller

2012 - Andrew Luck - Andrew Luck

2013 - Eric Fisher - Lane Johnson

2014 - Jadeveon Clowney - Khalil Mack

2015 - Jameis Winston - Amari Cooper

2016 - Jared Goff - Joey Bosa

2017 - Myles Garrett - Myles Garrett

2018 - Baker Mayfield - Saquon Barkley 

2019 - Kyler Murray - Nick Bosa

2020 - Joe Burrow - Joe Burrow

2021 - Trevor Lawrence - Trevor Lawrence 

 

2012 and 2021 are hard as there really weren't any viable alternative no.1 overall candidates. Some bad years too where there aren't any good realistic choices.

I'm sorry did you seriously just suggest Saquan should have been the number 1 overall pick over Josh Allen?

Mario Williams over Reggie Bush was right.

Jadevion Clowney over Khalil Mack was wrong.

David Carr over Julius Peppers was wrong.

(Jeez, I’ve lived through a lot of these).

Carr had to be the pick in 2002 though.

Not only that but absolutely no way could you argue Cam Newton was the wrong pick at #1 overall.

Von Miller is an obvious Hall of Famer but the Panthers likely accomplish nothing of note if they don't get Cam Newton
