You can pick a all pro in any round but most are higher picks
This is from a couple years ago but interesting
Starters by round
- The first round gives you a 63% chance of finding a starter.
- The second round gives you a 27% chance, the third a 17% chance, then it really plummets from there with 8% in the fourth and 6% in the 7th.
- One thing interesting was more starters come from UDFA than any round after the 3rd round
- But there are far more UDFA on a team than 3-7 draft picks
This year is the one time I don't think past draft stats may apply as much. Yes, quality will still be found in the earlier spots because you get to pick before the others...
But...with the COVID year, and the lack of tape on many college prospects it could potentially be more of a crap shoot, and the evaluations of players this year is going to be very important given there may be no combine, very little tape and possibly no in person meetings and interviews.
For agents many of them are going to seek the most advantageous positions for their clients, and if that means making them unavailable with the exception of tape and the odd scripted and choreographed event so be it.
This draft year is going to be a bit more wild and creative in my opinion.
That's why I wouldn't fret over draft position as much. Win the Giants game, let the cards drop as they may, and do your F'in job evaluating players this year, and pick good quality players to support the good young core we have already.
This is a pivotal year with the cap dropping, and the rumour that many FAs are going to be available as teams have to make hard decisions.
If this means that Texas hayseed and his spawn has to shut his pie hole and let the scouts and talent evaluators with the coaches make the picks then I am all for it. They need to get the way out of the process.
If we get another Taco Charlton I swear I will defecate on my Cowboys jerseys and ship them to a certain Johnny Walker afficionado in Dallas.
/rant...Happy New Year's everyone.
