2014- Bodine (ugh lol)
2015- Josh Shaw, Hardison
2016- Billings
2017- Lawson, Malone, Glasgow
2018- Mark Walton

25 players, in 18 years.

Positives:

Of those 25, 15 were multi-year starters/large contributors.

Of those 15 starters/contributors, 10 went on to have long, successful careers (even if they sucked lol, still had longer careers than the average).

Of those 10, 2 have been pro-bowlers (both with the team)

Of those 2, 1 is a Hall of Famer.

Negatives:

Of those 25, 7 played/lasted less than 2 years in the league.

Of the 15 starters/contributors, 4 sucked and were among the worst at their positions.

Of those 25, only 1 would be considered a, "bust."

Neutrals:

Of those 25, 9 are unknowns, due to current service time (may become positives)/career-ending injuries.

Of those 9, 4 had career-ending injuries, thus who knows how they would have done.

Overall, we definitely have been better than the league average has, for the 4th round; the two Cs (both noted love-children of PA) bring the overall body of work down a bit, but even with them, we got 2 starters for multiple seasons and plugged a hole, albeit terribly.

Yea but I wouldn't count just having a body on the field as a success, yea we got some good players but we don't really need to give them credit for drafting a guy and plugging him if he then played horribly.

Yea I think we have done solid but we are talking about a 2 in 25 chance at an above average player and this is from a team we are considering atleast average at drafting in the mid rounds. I would actually even take out the last 5 players because we just don't know yet, so we are still talking a 2 in 20 chance at getting an above average player.

So my point is why get a mid round pick for a guy going into his 3rd year which is the year that most WRs start to get it, especially with a new offensive minded coach that may actually be able to find ways to use him. Just don't think its worth giving up just yet for a 2 in 20 chance of getting someone potentially better when I think Ross has potential to be a very explosive 3rd WR. On top of that I still don't think we would even get a 4th so it doesn't really matter.
