Cardinals Bad Streak with #1 draft picks: How are they always wrong

[Bully4you]

It's very strange how they never hit on a #1 pick.
I find it strange.
What was the last # 1 pick that was a star?
I mean for multiple years too.
It's crazy.
I think you'd have to go back more than 20 years.
JD Drew in 1998?
That's about it.
How does that happen?

I'll answer your question if you answer how many guys picked #18 and above in the first round have become stars since 2000? Cause that's where the Cards picked every year except 2008.

The 2008 exception was Brett Wallace at #13, who yes was an unfortunate miss. He also happened to be coveted by a good drafting/scouting team in the A's and brought back Matt Holliday in trade, so I don't think you can uniquely blame the Cards for missing on him.

I find it strange how in Football that isn't the case.
Yet in Baseball it is.
Also, does that happen in other sports?
Like the NBA or NHL?
I don't know.
