Your team’s best and worst draft picks since 2005 (an original analysis)
36 comments
Going Glenn Dorsey and Tyson Jackson back to back years was rough
Man I thought Okudah was going to be money.
Doesn’t help that Patricia was the coach during his rookie year.
According to this, Chad Greenway is the Vikings’ #2 biggest RD1 bust. Interesting.
Chad Greenway played for like a decade that is the only reason why I wouldn’t consider him a bust.
Josh Robinson is a name I forgotten that should always be forgotten.
I’m confused why the Cardinals Byron Murphy has such a low ROI. He had always been a solid cornerback since being drafted and is still a good player. Even a critical fan would not call him a bust.
Find it hard to believe Demeco Ryans wouldn’t be rated above Winston or Dell?
Disagree on Ruiz. He’s been up and down but we have had far worse
Is there some sort of statistical analysis behind this? I totally disagree with the Vikings assessment that Chad Greenway is the 2nd worst day 1 draft bust since 2005.
No mention of Matt Kalil, Sharrif Floyd, Teddy Bridgewater, Mike Hughes, or Jeff Gladney.
The only note from me as a Texans fan is I don’t think Tytus is a bust by any means. He has a position, but due to injuries he’s always having to cover other positions. He’s a solid RT but can’t help that hes forced to play LG at times where he is significantly worse.
Pretty wild that Patrick Queen is still considered a day 1 bust after getting a 2nd team all pro
Hard to understand why this has Chase Young as a better draft pick than Ryan Kerrigan
Jordan Poyer had three games total for us and is being listed as a good pick, which is hilarious
Patrick Queen for the ravens as a top three bust? Have you heard of a gentleman named Breshad Perriman?
I don’t consider Devin White to be a bust. I consider him to be a massive disappointment because his talent was astronomical but his brain was not.
We don’t win our Super Bowl without Devin White’s play during that run. Plain and simple.
In three games, White had 38 tackles, 3 TFL’s, 2 INT’s, 2 PD’s, and 2 FR’s. He was freakishly good.
Interesting…I wouldn’t consider Tremaine Edmunds a bust on our part. He struggled sometimes with us but definitely not a bust.
I’d say Breshad Perriman was a worse pick than Patrick Queen.
Theo Riddick!!! Best RB angle route runner in the history of the league. Falcons fans should have this burned into their memory.
Brandon Meriweather made 2 Pro Bowls for the Patriots and they have him as the biggest day 1 bust yet Dominique Easley, who only lasted 2 injury-filled years with the Patriots, is nowhere to be found. Duke Dawson only lasted a year with the Patriots and never played a down but he’s nowhere to be found on the day 2 busts list.
I appreciate that Dion Jordan doesn’t appear as the Dolphins’ biggest bust because I also like to pretend that never happened.
How are the ratings calculated? Megatron having a lower rating than Justin Jefferson is suspect.
Any algorithm that doesn’t have Aaron Rodgers as a top 3 rating on Packers first round picks rating is a bad algorithm
Aaron Rodgers was drafted in 2005, and yet he is not the Packers best draft pick since 2005? Also, Jordy Nelson was not a day 2 pick. In 2008, the first and second rounds were both on day 1. I don’t know what year the NFL switched to only showing the first round on day 1, but it was late enough in your analytical timeframe to warrant relabeling your categories.
Curious to know a little more behind the Player Rating calculation since nothing is specified beyond it being “derived from AV” since it’s not exact.
Makes little sense to me that Cesar Ruiz would be our biggest bust above Marcus Davenport, Payton Turner, Patrick Robinson, Stephone Anthony. He even has more AV at guard than Robert Meachem did at this point in his career.
This is clearly done by someone who just looked at numbers and didn’t actually watch games. Just with the Packers, BJ Raji as a bust is an utter joke. He was a key piece in a SB winning defense and made the play that more or less clinched the NFC title.
I like Godwin, but there’s no way he’s a better second day pick than LaVonte David, he’s been a top five LB since he came into the league.
Danny watkins is denifitely worse than Andre Dillard
Chase Young as Washington’s 2nd best Day 1 pick shows that either
1. Washington sucks at drafting
or
2. The rating system is garbage
While point 1 is mostly true, the fact that neither Trent Williams nor Ryan Kerrigan are on the list shows that the system used is garbage
Interesting that Nick Herbig a rookie is alreafy a top 3 day 3 pick for us at this point. I would’ve thought that Martavis Bryant would’ve been on there and Pouncey for Day 1 best instead of Decastro.
Clearly Tebow was bad and a bust, but I dont see how he is worse than Paxton Lynch
Why are Borland and Kittle above Warner and Purdy lol
B.J Raji is a bust????
Yeah I don’t agree.
Evander Hood was a starter. Artie Burns was a bust.
All the round 1 grades are awful. Cam Hayward and TJ at the very end of round 1 are both 100 picks. You can’t get more value.
Also lol at TJ being a 90 and Garrett being a 100.
I’m surprised Lane Johnson isn’t top 3 for the Eagles.
How is Aaron Rodgers not one of their best picks? And how is BJ Raji a bust, guy was a stud for a long time.
As a Raider fan no way DJ should be on the list of busts when Damon Arnette was 10x worst
Looking through all these ratings, I’d say this analysis is a bust.
