Third round history last several seasons

Under Shanahan/Lynch, with the single exception of Nick Martin, I believe every defensive player we’ve picked up in the third round has been excellent, and all our other third round picks are skill players that are 100% busts.

We’re a walking stereotype at this point. It’s crazy how people jokingly anticipate the third round RB reach, and then we unironically do it.

Shanahan is a great coach but honestly the fan base is right to talk smack, Kaelon Black was like two standard deviations outside of what was expected. We need to be implementing the KISS method in the early rounds (keep it simple, stupid) and make picks with low risk factors.

Too many early round busts, I’m tired
