I was a big SEC fan so I knew who Geno was. I liked the pick a lot. But not even I imagined what he would become in the NFL.
The draft is a much bigger crap shoot than most "experts" want to admit. But that is one of the things that makes it so fascinating.
Looking at the decade of drafts from '05-'14 there were 39 players selected in the first round who started fewer than 25 games in their entire career. In the same decade of drafts there were 46 Pro Bowl players selected in the 5th round or later.
