John Schneider’s draft failures show why he’s been great for the Seattle Seahawks

36.7 percent of John Schneider’s draft picks have ended up being a complete waste of draft capital. Yes, you read that right. Greater than one in three turn out to be guys that aren’t ever going to do anything meaningful for the Seahawks.

I’m compiling some data on how well NFL teams have done in the draft since Schneider and Pete Carroll joined the league. We all know that Schneider has been brilliant at building Seattle’s roster up into arguably the league’s best, so that high of a failure rate definitely stood out.

That number might actually be a bit generous too.
