Question

The Bears are on their way to a lesser year, but they also might wind up with the No. 1 overall pick in the draft for the first time. Of the other 25 teams that existed at the time of the AFL-NFL merger in 1970, what are the only two that have a losing overall record since that time but have never picked No. 1 overall?

Answer

The Cardinals are the runaway leaders -- over 100 more losses than wins, but they have never had the first pick. The Giants are the sneaky other one, since they're just under .500 and managed to land the No. 1 overall player in 2004 (Eli Manning) without actually picking him.
