Good Draft vs Bad Draft
#26
(04-23-2017, 01:13 PM)BonnieBengal Wrote: Great Point.  The NFL Network was showing the first rounds of several past drafts yesterday.  I started watching at 2011 and looking up every player I didn't know to see who had panned out and who hadn't.  I watched 2011 - 2014, and your 40% stat seems correct.  Cleveland alone though, must be about 80%  I swear.  

The Browns ineptness with draft picks and sheer ability to mess up prime picks is legendary.

That said...we were pretty bad in the 90's.

There is kind of a tipping point on teams where you can draft good players and they have so many bad players around them that they look bad. That's why Dunlap, Atkins, MJ, Dalton, Green...all coming within a couple years turned us around.

The Bengals of the 90's added a guy like Wilkinson...but teams could just double him to take him out of plays. Same with a lot of those guys.

Add Wilkinson or Justin Smith to the current Bengals and they'd probably be a perennial Pro Bowl player.
