Since 2000...
These are the best picks and "foundational" players in the top 5 of the NFL Draft.
Chris Samuels
LT
Justin Smith
Julius Peppers
Andre Johnson
Eli
Fitzy
Rivers
Mario Williams
Joe Thomas
Calvin Johnson
Matt Ryan
So you guys have too lofty of expectations...
A small % of top 5 picks turn into franchise players...
so expecting a Bruce Smith or Reggie White is flat out RIDICULOUS.
Basically, you should be preying for Richard Seymour.
If 1 of 3 of our top 5 picks turn into a franchise caliber player that would be about the right percentage for top 5 picks that turn out...
Jury is still out on Tyson...hopefully he'll end up having a Seymour type impact when it's all said and done.
