As fans of the Cleveland Browns know, the NFL draft is mostly a crapshoot. While the Browns have been historically bad, most teams struggle to make good decisions and high-end players mostly come from the first and second round but there are also high busts rates early as well.
As of 2022, just 31% of first-round picks signed second contracts with the teams that drafted them and players drafted in the first three rounds were far more likely to sign with other teams.
