Seattle - had 13 picks and missed on 8 so hit only 38.5% of 1st rounders. A. Curry, L Jackson, Spenser, Tubbs, J. Stevens, K Robinson, J. Carpenter, K. Jennings.
Colts - Missed on 5 of 11
I think if you look, you will see there are more 1st round misses than you thought by a lot of teams and not just teams bad at drafting like Cleveland
I'm trusting your research on this, but I'd like to clarify what's considered a "miss" here? Does that mean not a starter? No longer on the roster? Not a contributor at all?
I just want to clarify because expectations increase or decrease based on where they're drafted. Nobody expects a 6th round draft pick to be an opening day starter in year one.
