Cockrell played last year for the Buccs. Spent 2020 and 2021 there. Has not been on a team in 2022 even in camp etc.

Keyvon Seymour? So he is still technically "in the league" but I didn't include him as he is on a practice squad not an active roster. He is on the Ravens PS. If you counted him it would be five for Deadly Doug. 

 

Didn't think about Seymour.  I was replying to @Motorin'post about Ronald Darby.  Is he still in the league?

I'm thinking he was a Doug pick.

 

I thought CBs because the Bills were drafting them every year back then.  LOL.

Yea Darby is correct. He was an outside corner though for the Bills.

Remember when Anthony Lynn said John Miller should make the probowl

 

ahhh good times lol

I've done a few comparisons.... 

 

So Green Bay and Baltimore (who I regard as two of the better, most consistent, drafting organisations over the long term) both had 15 players from that same draft period 2010-2016 playing in the NFL. New England who I think take some unfair stick overall for their drafting record (the last 5 or 6 drafts have been a disaster but up to 2016 they were pretty good for a long time) have 17. Interestingly given where our current brains trust came from I checked Carolina and they only had 6. There was an extenuating circumstance there.... they had a GM change in the middle of that period. Haven't found anyone with less than 6 yet.

Your right.  I was thinking of Robey-Coleman in the slot.  Got them confused.

Wasn't included because he was an UDFA not a pick... but he also is no longer in the league.

That is how you go from Superbowl Champions to regular cellar dwellers.
