Calling a 3rd nothing is hyperbolic and really undermines yourself and your argument.

List of the franchise’s 3rd round picks that played for the team as anything better than a borderline player:

Mike Vernon
Chris Clark
Matthew Lombardi
Brandon Prust
Lance Bouma (for one season)

Across nearly 40 years.
