# of Pro Bowl Seasons Since 2000:

1st Overall: 41
2nd Overall: 41
3rd Overall: 52
12th Overall: 35

For anyone interested here's an article that shows the # of All Pro selections per 1st round pick slot from 09-18. Seems pretty right that, at least for top 12, the draft slot doesn't matter as much as you would think. I certainly would have expected more value from top 5 picks compared to the rest.
