Rapp has been a starter 6 out of 7 seasons for two teams. Everett has started 3 out of 8 seasons for three teams. Rapp has objectively been a more successful draft pick than Everett. However, Everett has been a solid contributor for most of his career, so if we wanted to call him a hit, I'm fine with that.
That still puts the number on offense at 4 out of 8, if we're already counting Ferg as a hit.
You're right. Jefferson and Akers may have been hits, but we don't know that for sure. Just like on the defensive side, Terrell Lewis may have been a hit if not for his injuries. At the end of the day, I just counted as hits those who actually were productive.
The highest drafted skill guy was Everett at pick 44. I did point out that none of the skill positions drafted were 1st round picks, but the counter to that is, only one of the defense picks was a 1st. The reality is, they've gotten the results they've gotten with 2nd and 3rd round picks on both sides.
I'm not saying they're bad drafting offense; I'm saying they're phenomenal drafting defense.
