Those later round picks should really be viewed as currency for trading up to get that depth player in late 3rd round. What depth there is to find in these later rounds are rarely depth for long. Slightly more than 1 in 4 of them will ever get a second contract by the team that drafted them.
Quote: 71.8 percent of players drafted in Rounds 1, 2 and 3 are retained by the team that drafted them.
Only 28.2 percent of players drafted in Rounds 4, 5, 6 and 7 were retained at the end of their first contract—which is a number that is largely supported by an abundance of fourth-round picks re-upping. Rounds 5, 6 and 7 made up 16.7 percent of the 28.2 percent total.
Fueled by satanism, violence, and sodomy, dinosaurs had little chance to survive as a species.
