Second round picks are successful less than 50% of the time. By the fourth round we are talking about around 35%... 6th round is in the teens around only 15% of players drafted in the 6th round have successful careers.

I do think the Bengals day 3 picks this year will be successful though. The didn't take an Andrei Iosivas type this year they took 3 very experienced players but with capped upside. 

Agreed.

I think Barrett Carter will be a gem.

If Rivers develops, he can start at either G spot. He can back up both spots and RT this year.

Brooks can fill a role like Pacheco with Chiefs. But that depends on whether Peterson can convince Taylor on the power run game.   

BTW, the key to ensuring winning early season games is having a power run game to rely on. As the season moves forward, the QB-WR-TE timing combined with defenses slowing down (by week three or four), you can open up the pass game more.
