Upstarter's numbers ARE accurate. Your claim that you've debunked anything is laughable. The list shows that the Steelers use more draft capital than the Patriots on Draft picks. Including Claypool, the Steelers have used 8 picks in the top 3 rounds on WR. During that same time, Patriots have used 2.
The biggest Homer has come to the rescue. Unfortunately, you dont know what the hell youre BSing about as usual.
Argument- The Steelers spend more draft picks on WRs than NE and are therefore more successful. Its all about the quaintly of picks used and not the individual selection itself. The NE tally sheet looks bad, but wouldnt if they only drafted more WRs like Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is not really any better than NE at drafting WRs. Its a mirage.
Facts are that since 2000 Pittsburgh has drafted a total of 23 WRs and NE has drafted 16 WRs. 7 WRs more than NE in 20 years. That amounts to the Steelers spending 30% more draft capital on the WR position. 3 of the additional Pittsburgh picks were spent in rounds 4 - 6.
1 more pick than NE pick in round 4
0 in round 5
2 more in round 6
PITTSBURGH
1
Burress, Holmes
2
Claypool, JuJu, Washington, Sweed,
Randel El.
3
Wallace, Reid, Wheaton,
Sanders, Coates,
Johnson. Wheaton was considered a BUST in Pitt with a combined 1300 yards and 7 TDs over 32 games. Harry would be on his way to the Pats HOF with those numbers.
Thus far Pitt has hit on 8 players out of 13 picks for a 67% success rate, but make no mistake, its not because of knowing who to draft.
4 Gibson, Farmer, Bryant. 0 HITS, but Bryant was considered BUST with 1300 yards and 14TDs his first 2 seasons.
5 N/A
6
Brown, Mays, Brown. 1 HIT
7 Taylor, Baker, Ayers, Clemons. 0 HITS
Pitt hit on 1 WR out of 10 selections for a 10% success rate.
Summary Pitt hit on 9 WRs in 23 picks.
NEW ENGLAND
1 Harry HAHAHA next year right?
2
Branch, Jackson ,Dobson, Johnson
3 Tate, Price
Thus far NE has hit on 1 WR out of 7 pics for a 14% success rate, but give NE 6 more picks like Pitt and you will see.
Add another 1st pick because the Pats dont miss on 1st round WRs.
Add another 2nd pick because NE found Branch 18 years ago amongst 4 - 2nd round picks.
Add 4 more 3rd round WRs picks because the Pats have never hit on even 1 - 3rd round WR in 20 years.
4 Boyce,
Mitchell I suppose you have to consider Mitchell a HIT when he bar for WR draft success is so low. A 1 year WR rental does not do it for me, the Homers seem very happy.
5 Sam, Slater.
6 Berrios
7
Givens, Ebert, Lucien, Gallon
NE has hit on 2 WRs out of 9 picks for a 22% success rate.
Summary NE has hit on 3 WRs out of 16 picks
Its all lies and BS. Next we will hear about NE drafting so low in draft. The Steelers win as well and they dont draft at the top of the rounds yet they can find WRs. The bottom line is that I cant waste my whole arguing nonsense with a HOMER like DuhBruinz.
