1st round positional hit rate from 2000-2019

Very interesting and supports my theory. OL in general and interior OL in particular tend to be quality 1st round picks because teams don't value them that high. They're not the sexy ball in your hands making plays position. So you end up with better players on the board at OL than the guys being selected at other positions.

The C rate doesn't surprise me at all. You can steal a Pro Bowl C in the late 1st round routinely.

So. JPJ or Frazier it is. And I have absolutely no problem with it.

You take the week off Ris? I know this is your favorite time of year

Seems to be alot of smoke with JPJ right now

This is the least excited I've been for the draft since before Jimmy.

Right. They don't go earlier in the first because of positional value, not because they aren't among the best players in the round. I'm for getting the best players regardless of positional value. Obviously, all things being equal, you take the player with greater positional value, but I mainly just want to come out of the first round with a player who stand a real good chance of being a Pro Bowler/All Pro at whatever position he plays. That's not a sure bet at pick 24 for many positions.

I think it is inevitable if we take either at 24 that there will be outcries that we could have traded down and got him.

OLs are going to be flying off the draft board. There's no guarantee both are off the board before #24.

Hopefully most teams will be going for the OTs. I'd still rather get the top C than the eighth-best OT unless that OT is much more of a sure thing.

And most here think you can just draft a QB in the 1st round and it’s guaranteed SB.

Give me a list of names that said that and tag me to the post saying it.

Frederick was the only bust.

Who is the lone soul center that didn't pan out? Are they considering Cameron Irving as the pick that didn't pan out?

The other thing that stood out to me is the RB rate, simply because it doesn't get better the later you take one. Since the rates are based on second contracts, I know the value of the RB position affects that, but those who think we can just pick up a starting running back late in the draft aren't paying attention to the percentages against that. You have to get lucky enough in the early rounds to find one worth keeping. In the later rounds, if you find one, you've beaten some pretty tough odds.

It’s about 75% of this board so too many to list.

Then it shouldn't be a problem naming five?

I would say this definitely needs more context.

If a player plays out their rookie deal and signs a mega deal elsewhere in free agency are they not “a hit”.

And if a player is mediocre, but the team reups them on a cheap deal for depth is that considered “a hit”?

Also, sample size is always very important

come on you know better; anyone he picks will be someone he does not like irresponsive of where he actually stands

Agree, I think the hit or miss thing that was posted on QBs was full of crap. To me a hit is a near pro bowl player and above for all positions except QB. There if the QB does not make multiple Pro Bowls then he is a miss.

Maybe Zimm will talk them in to taking Cooper DeJean at 24. That will cheer you up!
