Going through the rosters, it's remarkable how many top-10 picks and even just how many first-round picks in general these teams had when they won.

I agree high picks are nice. This discussion started though, with the observation that while all those winning teams had high picks, so do almost all the other teams that didn’t. So it’s not the clear analysis some think it is.
