Can you show me this data?

I haven't seen it and would like to.

Sure.

Over the Cap did the original research and the 33rd team (see links below) compiled a lot of that research into a three part series.

1st round picks: 30% get a 2nd contract with their original team
2nd round picks: 23% get a 2nd contract with their original team
3rd round picks: 18% get a 2nd contract with their original team
4th round picks: 13% get a 2nd contract with their original team

So you start getting into probabilities...

The Browns traded 44 (23% hit rate) for 68 (18% hit rate), 108 (13% hit rate) and 124 (13% hit rate).





Long articles, but a lot of really good info.

That doesn't really prove the quality of the player at all.

1st and 2nd round picks have to be much more likely to be studs than the rest, which are likely depth players.

You are forgetting that those numbers are all skewed by Browns draft picks, so the % that succeed as long as they aren't drafted by Cleveland is probably higher. The thing that concerns me is that he was demanding a trade in his 2nd year, that kind of premadonna shit may become an issue if Watson develops a repoire with Coop and Njoku.

"Second contract with original team" is a pretty rough metric to go by. If I had all the data, that isn't the column I'd choose to use.

"More than X number of starts" might be a good one. Just having a second contract at all might be good too--after all, if you go get a massive contract in free agency, why should that be deemed not a success?

Anecdotally, I think most draft classes have a ton of talent at the top of the second round. Picks 33-40 are usually some of my favorite guys. It's all emotion and no data, but I'd be hard pressed to agree that top of round 2 guys aren't significantly different than round 3-4 guys.

It also needs to take position into account. I can probably find a starting interior offensive lineman in rounds 3-4. I probably can't find a starting tackle, QB, WR, etc.

I love that you posted this.

Matt Harmon's Reception Perception is the best thing out there for analysis of wide receivers. He watches every single snap these guys take.

He's definitely not always right, but he puts in more work than anyone else at this very specific niche.

His analysis of wide receivers is what PFF should strive to be.

It's one of the best tools to evaluate a WR's skill level when paired with athletic testing. The fact that Elijah checks both boxes is very promising.

There will always be factors outside a player's control that affect their success (QB, offense, pace), and it's impossible for fans to know every detail about a player's professionalism and work habits (Corey Coleman)

I'll always remember how much Harmon loved Hollywood Higgins, and I can't even consider it a miss. For where he was drafted he's had a solid career!
 
You just lack every bit of nuance in every post, don't you?

The point of the draft chart isn't to follow it as if it were the bible. It's to spot inefficiency, not use it literally.

Lets make up the draft chart Bible.

Thou shall not move out of the 2nd round for less than a future 1st or present 3rd and 4th

Thou shall honor your analytics department

Though shall not covet your neighbor's tight end with out proper notice

Thou shall not take a running back in the first 10 picks.

1st round picks for sure, what is interesting is the percent of starters in the 1st round almost doesnt matter where you are picked, like 51% in the first 15 picks and 49% in the last. Stat is a bit old, but intersing

One thing though is the 1st overall pick does end up being a starter much more than any other spot, but outside of 1st overall, its a crap shoot at about the same percentage.

I'd have to imagine more 1st overall picks than not are QBs, and even if they're bad are given at least a little while to play and see if they develop. Probably skews the numbers quite a bit. But I'm just speculating, I didn't actually look anything up.
 
I still cannot believe the Jags got Calvin Ridley for a 2 and a 5.

What an incredible get that would’ve been here in Cleveland.
