BBFL Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 A lot of decent one year careers out of those names. Couple of solid players for 2/3/4 also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it’s less about the “out of the league” status and more about how bad those players were as a whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low Positive Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Sometimes draft classes suck. But we still compare prospects to each other and have long heated debates. Look at the 2000 NBA draft. Not an All-NBA player among them. Complete garbage. But teams still angles to trade up and overvalued draft picks. Fans still had heated debates. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_NBA_draft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a truly awful draft, but it would be nice to see some additional context- like how many years they all played in the league. Sheldon Richardson was a very good player for like 9 or 10 seasons. Not many make it to an 11th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngbills Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 You get 5 years of starting from a draft pick I would say its ok. Most teams are drafting guys and getting a full 15 years of a career like in the old days. Most of the guys in this draft were starters for a number of years. Careers are not lasting 10+ years anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Day 10 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 (edited) 2nd round you had Zach Ertz, Darius Slay, Geno Smith, Leveon Bell, Jamie Collins, Kawann Short, and Eddie Lacy (lol) 3rd round Travis Kelce-Swift Keenan Allen, Terron Armstead, and Tyrann Mathieu weird draft in hindsight Edited October 25, 2023 by May Day 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
