not trying to be an ass, but you can't draw any conclusions about the relative merits of drafting a position with the 3rd pick from this...there is no causal relationship between the selection # and the player's success, when limited to a single draft position....

comparing a position to it's success ratio across all rounds of the draft gives you "data" that can be used to draw conclusions....this doesn't

not even sure why i care, so i'll leave you all to your conclusion drawing,,,,
