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.

There’s a lot to unpack here, and gets into impact of certain positions vs others and the lifespan of different positions. QB may have a 46% hit rate but has the highest impact by far which is why they tend to go higher. Running backs can be high impact but rarely keep their production to a second contract and thus have a lower rate. More than elsewhere, continuity on the OL is huge and if you can keep your guys together that’s ideal.

Interesting data

Risen,I'll be glad to take the DRAFT TITLE BELT back when all my picks are correct. You can just give it to me now before the draft.
