Lots of talk about how you cannot trust this team to scout other than the obvious pick; so I went back 5 years in our drafts and compared our first rounders versus our second rounders.

Which haul do you prefer?

William Jackson III, John Ross, Billy Price, Jonah Williams, Joe Burrow

Tyler Boyd, Joe Mixon, Jessie Bates III, Drew Sample, Tee Higgins

There is no doubt that these second rounders have (largely) outperformed their draft position, but I wouldn't call those first rounders all duds (only Price and Ross) because Burrow is the best pick out of all of them.  

There was some time there where our fourth round picks were some of the biggest contributors to our team.  The third round seemed like a lot of misses....Thankfully, Logan Wilson is showing that he was an excellent choice and is getting lots of playing time.  

I will add that next year's first rounder had better be a Burrow or Bates instead of a Ross or Price.
