(FYI, I updated the numbers slightly in my original post after recounting.)
I think there are 10 picks that are clearly good picks:
- Chase Young
- Montez Sweat
- Da'Ron Payne
- Jonathan Allen
- Brandon Scherff
- Ryan Kerrigan
- Trent Williams
- Brian Orakpo
- Sean Taylor
- Chris Samuels
One pick that I think is debatable, but I consider it a good pick (and how I reached 11) because I think his performance level is probably around the baseline level you'd want out of a first rounder:
Two picks that I put in the bad pick category, but I guess I wouldn't complain a ton if someone wanted to argue they were fine. They are kind of similar picks, too. Both are #2 overall. Both showed great promise. But ultimately, both fell short of performing at a round 1 level for a long enough time.
- Robert Griffin III
- Lavar Arrington
And then there's six guys who I assume everyone agrees were bad picks:
- Dwayne Haskins
- Josh Doctson
- LaRon Landry
- Jason Campbell
- Patrick Ramsey
- Rod Gardner
