Late First‑Round Picks Yield Pro Bowls 12.5% of Time

Research of the last ten drafts shows that 12.5% of players selected at picks 25‑32 made a Pro Bowl, supporting the case for trading down.

Data from 2016‑2025 shows 10 of the 80 players chosen at picks 25‑32 reached the Pro Bowl, a 12.5% success rate. This statistic fuels the debate over whether teams should trade back from the late first round into the second round to secure higher‑value prospects. sweetbonanza.qpon
