Over the last 40 NFL drafts there have been 29 instances of an NFL not having a pick in either the first or second round of the draft. Two of those instances are the Denver Broncos - in 1995 and 1986. Removing the teams that didn’t exist there have been 1162 “opportunities” for a team have no picks in the first two rounds, so this has happened 2.5% of the time over the past 40 drafts. While that is more frequent than I would have expected, that is not “fairly common”.
- People being left-handed is fairly common worldwide (11% according to Google)
- People preferring chocolate over vanilla is fairly common (43%)
- People in the US who can’t swim is fairly common (20%)
- People in the India who are vegetarian is fairly common (24%)
Teams having no picks in the first two rounds is not fairly common.
