We're always talking about how bad/good our drafts have been. on another recent thread, someone said we should look at the number of 2nd & 3rd round picks on our roster..... suggesting that we had less than other teams....... & the more successful teams had more.
So I spent the most of my morning digging through old drafts, to see how we compare (in numbers) to other teams. What I've found, is that argument doesn't hold water.
& I figured I'll share the info I culled with you.
Since 2002:
