Over their first 7 drafts in the first 4 rounds, Shana-Lynch has made 21 poor draft picks and only 5 good picks. So only one in five picks were good. And 80% of their picks in rds 1-4 were really bad. It's amazing that they are good as they have been!

Total of 21 bad draft picks in their first 7 drafts (21 bad out of 27 total picks)

Your logic for a bust must be a player should be a pro bowl level player if not they are a bust? That's fine but that's not the logic most people tend to use. According to your logic 80% is probably the league average honestly.
Truth, 80% sounds bad, but is meaningless unless you pull the same data for the other 31 teams in that period. If all the other teams miss 75% of the picks, now it isn't so bad.
Also, the Lance trade was a pick swap and 2 1st round picks, not 3 1sts. Big difference, it didn't pan out, but that wording makes it sound far worse. Personally, I like the aggressive move to get a young QB when it was clear that JG couldn't stay healthy but Fields and Lance both suck -- I was a Fields guy.
