Astounding draft fact

Astounding draft fact... from the #16 selection on in the first round... only FOUR teams drafted from their original position.
That's a loooooot of trading.
Didn't it just seem like everyone was putting little faith in the later round picks and just doing whatever to get a player that could help them in the first or second round?
Gotta live in the now in the modern day NFL... obviously even the teams FO's are putting less and less faith in trying to build youth from within... you're just paying for their learning curve and then when they get good, they go wherever the bucks are.
Parity and free agency - bittersweet to most.
