I asked AI : "Has a team that picked first in the draft ever gone 4 - 0 the next season?"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Yes, several NFL teams that picked first in the draft have gone 4-0 to start the next season. Here are some notable examples:

  1. 2023 Chicago Bears (picked #1 in 2023 draft with Caleb Williams) - They didn't go 4-0, but looking at recent history...
  2. 2017 Cleveland Browns (picked #1 in 2017 with Myles Garrett) - Actually went 0-16, so not them.
  3. 2010 St. Louis Rams (picked #1 in 2010 with Sam Bradford) - Started 3-1, not 4-0.

Let me think of better examples:

  • 2004 San Diego Chargers (picked #1 in 2004 with Eli Manning, traded to Giants; Chargers got Philip Rivers) - The Giants started 5-0 in 2005.
  • 1998 Indianapolis Colts (picked #1 in 1998 with Peyton Manning) - Started 3-1 in 1999.
  • 1983 Baltimore Colts (picked #1 in 1983 with John Elway, traded to Broncos) - Not applicable since Elway went to Denver.

Actually, a clearer example:

  • 2012 Houston Texans didn't pick #1, but looking at teams that did:
  • 2005 San Francisco 49ers (picked #1 in 2005 with Alex Smith) - Started 2-2 in 2006.

The most prominent recent example would be teams like the 2020 Cincinnati Bengals (Joe Burrow, #1 pick in 2020) who started 2-2 in 2021, or the 2018 Cleveland Browns (Baker Mayfield wasn't #1 overall).

Let me reconsider - yes, it has happened. For instance, the 2003 Cincinnati Bengals picked Carson Palmer #1 in 2003, and while he was injured his rookie year, the team's performance varied.

The answer is yes - it has occurred multiple times in NFL history, though it's not extremely common given how many #1 picks come from struggling teams.

JFC. Yeah that’s some serious stupid Super Intelligence. Shut up Ai.

Jesuit educated! @Raiders coach Klint Kubiak went to @RegisJesuitHS and you can tell it sunk in. Look what I spotted on the back of his play call card yesterday: AMDG. “Ad majorem Dei gloriam”: For the greater glory of God

Kubiak has hit three of four benchmarks.

1. Winning the first game
2. Winning two in a row
3. Winning THREE in a row (V the NFC on the road).
4. Beating the Chiefs.

The next benchmark would be winning, after a loss, in an early game back east.
That would be like two benchmarks in one. Also winning after just PLAYING the Chiefs would be a bench mark in itself.

How many times have the Raiders won the week after playing the Chiefs in the last 30 years? I bet pro gamblers know that one.

Feels like we are primed for that turd letdown game... hopefully we see the same competitive team we've seen all year.

Fair comment because we are so conditioned to that outcome. It’s been a long time since seen anything else.

Hoping this is our turnaround year to finally get things right. I’m not predicting playoffs but damn, the first four weeks have been fun for a change.

I remember feeling like I can't wait for the weekend to get to Sunday, kinda feeling that way again. It's been a loooong time.

It also seemed like a Marty Schnot team would always lose the week after beating the Raiders
