Was just reading this.....sorta interesting.

2008 First-Place Finish Percentage

Now, let's look at the success rate of each draft slot. In 2006, the third slot produced the highest percentage of first-place finishes at 16.49 percent. The 11th slot produced the least amount with just a 4 percent first-place finish mark. In 2007, the No. 1 pick dominated with 15.64 percent first-place finishes while the 11th spot once again was last with 4.22 percent.

The 2008 draft has a slightly different result despite the consistency of the RB and WR trends. Although we see the highest rate of success as the second draft slot, the eighth slot surprisingly had the same amount of success. For the first time we see a pretty even amount of first-place finishes throughout the draft slots, but as the draft spot get lower, so does the percentage of success on average. For the third year in a row, the 11th spot has the lowest success rate. The elbow, pick No. 12, had the second-least success. The same rate for the third straight year also.

Picking first meant finish first 8.37 percent

Picking second meant finish first 9.31 percent Highest

Picking third meant finish first 9.20 percent

Picking fourth meant finish first 9.02 percent

Picking fifth meant finish first 8.21 percent

Picking sixth meant finish first 8.89 percent

Picking seventh meant finish first 8.68 percent

Picking eighth meant finish first 9.31 percent Highest

Picking ninth meant finish first 7.54 percent

Picking 10th meant finish first 7.92 percent

Picking 11th meant finish first 5.07 percent Lowest

Picking 12th meant finish first 5.38 percent

    • I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.
    • Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.  
    • Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
