swede700 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 8 minutes ago, JDBrocks said: That is so wildly shortsighted and untrue. Teams are built on depth, which is found up and down the draft in both rounds. 2nd round picks are very valuable. So, then why do people often call them worthless, like meix did above you? And if they were valuable, why do they get traded so often? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk, but the 2 time reigning MVP was a 2nd round pick, and the Warriors championship runs have been fueled by guys picked outside of the top 5. I could make multiple championship level rosters out of 2nd round picks currently playing in the NBA. They are lottery tickets, that's why you package a bunch of them together to acquire an asset from a team that's selling. The selling team wants as many opportunities to find talent as possible. The NBA is different in that 1 guy can shift the entire balance of power for a team, but those teams that are very top heavy rarely work out. The NBA is about fit, chemistry, and an owner's willingness to pay their own guys.

As long as people keep going to games and the teams get lucky enough to give the fan base hope for a couple of seasons a decade, he's never going to change. Sell the team to a competitive billionaire, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But basically the first round after the 7 round NFL draft, that’s where I’m assuming 8th round comes from.
