I initially did this because I figured the 4th round would have produced more legitimate roster guys than the 5th round, but the truth is there's not much difference. Five of 19 guys in the fourth round had long careers, and 2 were starters. It looks like 7 of 25 fifth-rounders had long careers, with five of them starting.
So I guess I'm wrong that the 4th round is a lot better than the 5th round. Maybe we should always trade our 4th round pick for a 5th and 7th or something.
