    Yeah right to the idea that you see plenty of busts and disappointments in other positions drafted early too, but I’m fairly sure the most by a wide margin are O linemen.
    I bet DL and QBs bust more often.

    I found one article which was a bit dated (2015) on the subject. The 4 positions with the most 1st round busts were QB, RB, WR and DL. All the OL positions were in the lower half of bust percentage.

    The move is clear then. Trade all your 1sts and 2nds and load up on the 3rd round....oops, that won't work for our GM.

    We could own the 4th.

    Yes, the 7 iron of the draft. Mr. 7 wiggle. The home of Bak, Tom, Doubs, Jamal Williams, JC Tretter, Mike Daniels, TJ Lang, Josh Sitton and Brady Poppinga.

    If we own the 4th we own the Lombardi Cup!!

    More busts in the 3rd round than in the 1st and 2nd.
