Snead (under Fisher) made 12 picks in the first two rounds from 2012 to 2016. Out of the 12 there are 8 still on the team. And of those 8, Donald, Ogletree, Gurley, Joyner, and Brockers are solid to great players. That leaves Austin, who has been a major disappointment after 4 years, and Goff, and Havenstein whom the jury is still out on.
If Goff and Havenstein become solid or better players than we've got 7 out of 12 as significant contributing players. That's decent. And if Goff becomes a top 10 QB than thats a major success.
Jared Goff
Todd Gurley
Rob Havenstein
Greg Robinson
Aaron Donald
Lamarcus Joyner
Tavon Austin
Alec Ogletree
Michael Brockers
Brian Quick
Janoris Jenkins
Isaiah Pead
How many picks in the first two rounds did other teams have during that period? How come you didn't give them credit for creating more first and second round opportunities? How does your "7 out of 12" compare to other teams success rate? Do you have stats, or is it just in your gut?
Also what is your reasoning for not including Jenkins as a significant contributor? And what is your definition of "a significant contributor?" Certainly he contributed significantly when he was here. Are you not counting him because he is no longer on the team? If that is the case, just keep redoing this every year and eventually they will all be off the team and the success rate in those years will change to 0 out of 12.
Also, what about the comp pick we got for Jenkins and the trade pick we got for Robinson? What if that 6th round pick turns into an all-pro player? Shouldn't that be included in your evaluation?
