First Take with a wow stat

Quote:Since the 1984 draft (30 years), only 11 of those drafts had a WR chosen with a top 5 pick. Of the 150 total top 5 picks over this 30 year period, solely 13 of those picks were a WR.


They were...

Kenny Jackson (KC, 126 catches, 8 seasons)

Irving Fryar (NE, 851 catches, 17 seasons, 5x probowl)

Desmond Howard (Was, 123 catches, 11 seasons, 1x probowl, Superbowl champ and MVP)

Michael Westbrook (Was, 285 catches, 8 seasons)

Keyshawn Johnson (NYJ, 814 catches, 11 seasons, 3x probowl, Superbowl champ)

Peter Warrick (Cin, 275 catches, 6 seasons)

Charles Rogers (Det, 36 catches, 3 seasons)

*Andre Johnson (Hou, 927 catches, 11 seasons, 7x probowl)

*Larry Fitzgerald (Ari, 846 catches, 10 seasons, 8x probowl)

*Braylon Edwards (Cle, 359 catches, 8 seasons, 1x probowl)

*Calvin Johnson (Det, 572 catches, 7 seasons, 4x probowl)

*AJ Green (Cin, 260 catches, 3 seasons, 3x probowl)

*Justin Blackmon (Jac, 93 catches, 2 seasons)

"*" still active in NFL


Of these 13 WRs chosen in the top 5 picks, 15% (2) won superbowl rings, 62% (8) became pro-bowlers, 38% (5) are likely to become inducted into the hall-of-fame. This is indeed powerful history, that WRs taken in the top 5 of the draft have become very successful and impactful players in this league. But, like all position groups, there is no guarantee that a top 5 selection will be a success.
