But can he catch the ball?...I remember my favorite Raider joke..."If Jamarcus Russell and Darius Heyward-Bey were a trapeze act, they would all be dead"...Al wanted speed, and drafted HB since he ran a 4.3 40...but wasn't very good at catching the ball.
A 20 year study of the success rate of draft picks from 1996-2016:
- 17% never made the team.
- 52% had very limited playing time as primarily back-ups.
- 11% were mediocre players with starts over 2-3 years.
- 12% were good, solid multi-year starters.
- 7% were excellent players that went onto multiple contracts.
- 1% were considered elite during relatively long careers.
I kinda' ignore the draft. Based on the results Surfnfish posted above, I think the main purpose of the draft is to provide some kind of fair way to bring young new players into the NFL. Once they're in the league and start practicing and playing, things sorta' shake out through trades and free agency and cuts.
I never get excited about the draft either because we don’t hear much about many of these players later in the season. Thank you for this chart.
I remember when folks thought I was a yahoo expert!
Gave the Broncos an F. You know one of those Fs will come back to bite him. Hope it's that one.
Vikings get a B+ for JJ McCarthy at #10 and Broncos an F for Bo Nix at #12, WTF?
I think the experts feel Bo should have gone in a later round
Some interesting facts regarding the draft.
With the kicker being selected, Nick Saban has had an Alabama player at every position played be drafted.
This was interesting regarding conference alliance via the schools with the most selections.
These power four schools had no players selected.

As well as Penix…but if they turn out to be good solid qb’s ,who cares when they get drafted…
Atlanta going to sit Penix at 24 for the 2 years it takes Cousins dead cap number to come down ?
Cousins' cap hits will be $25 million in 2024 and $40 million in 2025 with $25 million in dead money if they release him in 2026.
Best to dump him now, next year is bad. 2026 Penix will be 26, so getting sort of old for rookie type playing time.
Short career, and no third contract available for him...

An old qb coming off an Achilles tear…he might see the field sooner than you think…
That’s the truth…he’s a better businessman than a football player…Falcons signing Cousins never seemed right, but Cousins gets signed to big contracts, he is best at doing that.
NFL math- pretty much right on
