Yeah, but you have to consider that the O’s lost 100 or more games 3 seasons in a row, not counting ’20. They had some pretty nice picks.
But again, if we compare just their picks after #30 or later during the last five years, they are smoking both our first and second rounders. And I didn’t even bother comparing the rest of their draft. You don’t get to have the #1 farm system after graduating four players in three years without supplementing your first and second rounders in the draft.
People keep making the same excuses for the Cardinals failed draft strategies.
