Message: [QUOTE="bpo57, post: 1423369, member: 1572"] We found agreement. You're right it's about 2-3 at most. From the 2006 draft four guys have played 9 years and from the 2007 draft five guys have played eight years. Several of these guys are deep bench players so holding on for 10+ won't be easy. So we agree the # is 2-3. I've said all along it is certainly possible Rak could play 10+ years but the odds are heavily against him (particularly for a guy that will be 34 at that time). As we both agree the likelihood of playing 10+ years after being drafted in the 2nd round is less than 10% (2.5/30). I'd say the stats completely support my contention and I wouldn't call < 10% commonplace. As for the dismal SU track record in the pros- not hatin', just keepin' it real. [/QUOTE]
