You can’t win it all without top-5 draft picks in the cap era. It’s impossible.
Because you need a control group to see if your theory actually pans out.

Lots of teams have had top 5 picks and not won. That’s your comparison to see if your theory holds water or if it’s just true-true-and-unrelated.
