My “list” was not meant to be comprehensive. I offered a handful of examples to get the conversation rolling.
I was also several years from conception when Si
ms was drafted, so please excuse my - uh? - limited experiencing watching him, you know, actually play football.
From what I have ever read about him, he had a decent rookie year and then got injured a lot. He didn’t play the most important position on the field and, at worst, cost the team at an important, but not crucial position (like Mac).
Mac was drafted only 14 spots lower, again, at the most important position likely in American sports, and he’s currently sitting behind BAILEY ZAPPE not because he blew his Achilles or destroyed his back, but because
he sucks.
Maybe #1 and awful injury luck is something you view as far worse than #15 and a complete breakdown of the Patriots’ ability to judge what talent should be drafted at #15, but I disagree.
Again, though: my list was not meant to be comprehensive. If that was what you were looking for (which I could not predict), here’s a list of all the first rounders:
