That's why I indicated (so far), surely a few of those guys still have a chance...I am not labeling them busts yet.
I think using 20+ years of data is a lot more useful than a small sample size, regardless of who is in charge of drafting and scouting. It is a pretty fair representation of what kind of players are drafted in that range. I'm sure other teams have had a little more success, but my whole point was that picking in that range is a little more than a crap shoot.
