Most third rounders are busts but nobody wants to talk about that.

As i mentioned in another thread, it took Dee Winters 2 years to lock down a starter job. Why are we so quick to call folks a bust if they don't perform in year 1?

that is flat out wrong

30% of 3rd years are starers for 4 or more years? and the first 2 rounds are higher? Thats already 100% and that would mean there are no starers in round 4 and below

Horrible drafting in rounds 1, 2, 3 and 4

Luckily they've been great when their scouts take over in rd 5 and also been good in rd 6 and 7

It appears that they have figured out to trust the scouts more in rds 1-4 and looks like they did well in the 2024 and 2025 draft, except for the whiff on Nick Martin

I'm going to reserve a whiff grade on Martin until I see more.

i misread the post. i thought it said 30% of starters are third rounders with first and 2nd rounders have an even higher precentage

either way there is no way 29% of 3rd rounders become starters for 4+years that seems really high
