Ballard's Edge rushers definitely stand out because of the 2nd-rounders. But I think Chrome is right in that there just aren't a lot that hit. At least not in the way most fans would consider to be "consistent, impactful" rushers.

If you just pick any recent year ^^ and sort by position, then look at the 2nd-3rd rounders, you see a whole bunch of guys (particularly DE's) that make you say, "Who?" or "Oh yeah, he was supposed to be good."

Just taking a quick glance, it really seems there are very few players doing anything we'd be satisfied with. Feels like you need a premium pick to get a blue chip guy who will then make the rest of your guys better.
