Thanks Boone. I don't recall seeing one of these in the past.

Some pretty cool stuff in there. The breakdown of players the Skins have chosen in previous years at the exact pick numbers we hold this year is interesting.

We own pick nos. 5, 38, 69, 105, 141, 182, 222. Since the draft began we've taken 30 players at those corresponding picks.

5 - 1 total, Sean Taylor
38 - 8 total, most recently 1971 -- no names I recognize
69 - 5 total, Russ Grimm, Skip Hicks, three mystery guests
105 - 5 total, Roy Helu, 4 mystery guests
141 - 5 total, Adam Gettis in 2012 only name I know
182 - 2 total, Rich Milot and John Blutarski
222 - 3 total, none I recognize

As is this. Lotsa DB's as compared to other positions--but doesn't break them down between corners and safeties.

Yeah, added together, O-linemen are #1.

is there an inverse relationship between the position numbers drafted and successful selections?
