That said, only like 40% of 1st Round picks pan out.
So, IF you let a Pro Bowl Tackle go in Whitworth and draft a Tackle, there's like a 60% change you drastically downgrade that position.
Multiply that by all the guys we let go like Zeitler, Nelson, Jones, Sanu, etc.
We've had more than our share of misses lately.
It is like we are relying on getting lucky at times, maddening.
