It is a painful stat, nonetheless...

(^ denotes a % higher than league average in that round)

...And then I got tired of looking them up. Either way, all those teams were much more successful than the Bengals (while using less picks), with the exception of Denver, who was heavily involved in Free Agency to mask their recent drafting woes. (Less requirement to hit on draft picks when you're bringing in Peyton Manning, Emmanuel Sanders, Aqib Talib, Louis Vasquez, Evan Mathis, DeMarcus Ware, and TJ Ward.)
