But yeah, the success rate of the second and third round picks is greater than the first round picks.
We've seen the Rams with F them picks, but yet still build their team with great third and fourth and fifth round picks to your point there.
And the other thing we're seeing, and you kind of hit on this just a little,
The first round has become less about, oh, this guy is awesome at this one thing, but he's got some other questions we're not sure.
