I worry about "trusting our scouting department" at finding a "generational talent"
sure we have had some great picks in round 1 but also some meh selections ....
granted perhaps good players but not what you'd ( or at least I'd) expect from round 1 more like rd 2 kind of guys ... example
2021 -Najee doesn't look like a 1st rounder ( being outplayed by an UDFA ) don't make excuses just look at results
2020 no 1st round pick traded it to Miami for Minkah
2019 traded up and selected Bush not a top 10 player period
2018 Edmunds 2nd -3rd round quality
2017 TJ Watt - jackpot ....
2016 Artie Burns 5th round kinda guy
2015 Dupree second or third round quality
2014 Shazier ( bad luck on this one )
2013 Jarvis Jones round 5-6 results
2012 Decastro
2011 Heyward
2010 Pouncey
2009 Ziggy Hood solid round 4 kind of pick
2008 mendenhall can find this kind of RB in round 3-4 all the time
so 35% ish of worthy round 1 picks .... the others are round 2 or lessor quality IMO (some shouldnt have been selected until day 3)
