They (IMO, you cannot talk about Snead without Fisher) have had what I would call hits on defense, but the offensive side of the ball has been downright brutal.

2012- Brian Quick, I. Pead, Chris Givens, Rok Watkins, Daryl Richardson - IMO that's 0 for 5 hits

2013 - Tavon Austin, Stedman Bailey, Barrett Jones, Zac Stacy - IMO that's 0-4 hits

2014 - Greg Robinson, Tre Mason, Garrett Gilbert, Mitchell Van Dyk, Demetrius Rhaney - IMO 0-5 hits

2015 - Gurley, Rob Havenstein, Jamon Brown, Sean Mannion, Andrew Donnal, Bud Sasser, Cody Wichmann - Normally in my world you get 2 plus years before I deem someone a hit or a miss or a bust, right now I would say 2-7 hits (Gurley and Havenstein even though both are having subpar seasons, they where good last year)

Now, my definition of hit says Snead (and Fisher) is 2- 21 hits or 9.5% hit rate. That is not good.

Defensively, they are much higher 8-15 IMO, or 53%

Overall, throwing in GZ they are 11-37 hits not including 2016 draft or 29.7%, so according to your 40% benchamark, Snead is falling short.

I applied the same logic to every team I looked at to get a comparison.

I counted as a hit starters and significant role players such as nickel backs, together with any back-ups who did decently well (as Wichman did last year).

The teams I looked at were Green Bay, the Giants, and the Steelers. I did 2004-2008 on those teams so you could get a clear read.

It's not a grading system, it's a "basic percentages" system so that people who say goofy things like "they suck" have to look at realistic bottomlines. Grading is different--you evaluate quality then. I am only interested in basic hits at this point so that people get what percentages constitute good drafting.

If someone is lost due to off field issues I don't count them in the totals. That kind of thing is no reflection at all on the team's evaluations. Excluding 2016, cause it's way too soon, I look at 2012-15 and I count as hits

Brockers, Quick, Jenkins, Johnson, Zuerlein, Austin, Ogletree, McDonald, Robinson, Donald, Joyner, Alexander, Gaines, Gurley, Havenstein, Brown, and Wichman.

That's 17. Subtracting Bailey and Mason (off-the-field losses), they had 35 picks. That's 48.5%. Without getting into quality, which is a separate discussion.

Remember, when I did the Packers, Giants, and Steelers the criteria was the same.

For you to come up with a comparison, you have to set a standard and do other teams according to YOUR criteria. That is just looking at the Rams in isolation is meaningless. What are the basic hit percentages on good drafting teams.
