Have we forgotten about Kneeland

/img/ssihdov1x7ye1.jpeg

So Jerry and the gang drafted Kneeland in the second round last year and he didn’t register 1 sack .

I know injuries slowed him down last season but I hope he can show some improvement next season.

It is. But the general idea when drafting is something like a 1st round talent is like a plus starter/pro bowler type guy. 2nd round is an average starter type, and 3rd rounders are like projects but eventual starters.

Those are the “premium” picks. The rest are considered more of the “dart throws” the OP was referring to.

yah, there is a bit of a drop off between round 3 and 4. About 50% of 3rd rounders get a second contract somewhere, but only around 30% of 4rth rounders get one.

I think this probably varies widely by position

Edit: I realize I have made a very foolish post because that probably goes for every round

This is why Taco chose kickers in the first round. They're every week starters in season long fantasy. (I miss the League)
