Kay. I understand it to be a draft that not only had lower tier top end talent, but talent that drops off in the 20s of the first round. That means that the traditionally decent picks at 16 are probably more like late first round picks which are more likely to bust. So with all that analysis saying that you can get a core player at 16 roughly 33% of the time, in a year like this it's probably much lower than that.
