Before we get into this, let’s talk about why I chose to highlight these three players by looking at a tweet from Kevin Papetti whose draft rankings can be found here.
I went all the way back to the 2007 draft to look at the players who were drafted in the second half of the first round (16-30).

This is just a brief breakdown of my interpretation of this tweet and how I’ve applied this logic to my preferred draft picks.
