We are going to run into each other’s hypotheticals to the point we both can be right, but you are wrong because I am always right.
There is something called diminishing returns that I would argue.
What you are going to get for a 6th round draft ain’t much. A solid special teams contributor for a few years that you will eventually forget about. A Bryan Brahman type. That’s why those picks are treated as such.
Not saying you can’t have success. But you don’t want to spend an entire paycheck on six round picks and expect to get a Tom Brady when you can leverage that for a greater and immediate need.
A good counter argument is that it can happen and GMs/coaches have said that in the late rounds if you have success you can build a championship team. I forget who said though it was someone important like a Parcells, Belicheck type of GM/Coach.
At the end of the day it’s luck more like a roulette wheel. You are more often going to lose than win. There are exceptions to the rules but the odds aren’t in your favor. And with anything “it depends.”
NFL impact players from the sixth round are rare, but finding one can be a huge boost for a franchise. These 25 sixth-round picks put together superb NFL careers despite their draft statuses.
