The draft process is an utter roll of the dice, and this dice roll affects people’s careers and millions of dollars. Around 500 players each season are either drafted, go undrafted and make a team, or join a squad sometime during the season, but only a handful ever see their career last past two or three years.
All it takes is for one player to be a hit to make an entire draft worth it. Look back at the Texans notorious 2013 draft. DeAndre Hopkins was the only true contributor from that class, but where would Houston be without him?
