WRs and RBs taken in the first two rounds in '15

[Don Wassall]

Taking a look at the WRs and RBs selected in the first two rounds of the 2015 NFL Draft, in the order in which they were taken:

WR Amari Cooper -- has done well, a worthwhile draft pick

WR Kevin White -- injured entire season

RB Todd Gurley -- has done well, a worthwhile draft pick

WR DeVante Parker -- injured most of the season, has done nothing when he's played

RB Melvin Gordon -- looks like the latest Wisconsin RB who had great offensive lines blocking for him who won't make it in the NFL

WR Nelson Agholor -- injured part of the season, otherwise a huge disappointment

WR Breshad Perriman -- injured entire season

WR Phillip Dorsett -- injured most of the season, has done very little when playing

RB T. J. Yeldon -- looks to be an average starting RB at best

WR Devin Smith -- injured most of the season, a huge bust when he's played

WR Dorial Green-Beckham -- huge disappointment, being babied along because he still lacks understanding of how to run all but the most simple routes and otherwise play his position

WR Devin Funchess -- big disappointment, has finally come on a little in the past two games

RB Ameer Abdullah -- beneficiary of absurd media hype after a couple nice plays in the preseason, has been big disappointment

So out of 13 WRs and RBs drafted in the first two rounds, 10 have been either perpetually injured or busts as players in their rookie season, Yeldon has been ok but underwhelming, while only Cooper and Gurley look like smart picks so far.

Good list - amazing how many wasted draft picks caused their teams seasons to go down the drain.

But but dat upside.

Yes this is the list I was talking about. Going to share it!

 

[Extra Point]

2015 was one of the worst draft classes. It was also one of the blackest.

There's a correlation.

Jags sign Chris Ivory, looks like a move to replace Yeldon already. If so, he's yet another one from last year firmly in the bust category.

Alabama battling Wisconsin for most RBs to utterly fail once they enter the league.

 

[Deadlift]

Agholor, out of USC, was a terrible pick by Philly in 1st round.

Also, Jets' WR Devin Smith ended up with a torn ACL in Week 14 of the season:

Jets' Devin Smith: Suffers torn ACL

Smith tore his ACL on Sunday against the Titans.

The rookie wideout's season is over, and Smith -- who caught nine passes for 115 yards and a TD in 10 games this season -- is thus a candidate to be placed on IR by the Jets.

 

[Leonardfan]

Good to see you back deadlift! It's been awhile.

Good to see you back deadlift! It's been awhile.

Thanks! Unless a BUNCH of our college beasts (a growing wave at certain positions) get injured this year, I'll be here all season!
