This is a serious indictment of both player and franchise.

Want even more unbelievable (yet totally believeable)? Since 2000 Chris Samuels is the ONLY first round pick to get a 2nd contract. Including 5 first round picks traded away during that time span, we've used 8 first round picks (trades involving picks from '03, '06 and '12, '13 & '14 plus Ramsey, Campbell and Griffin) in pick or trade at the QB position in that time period.
Orakpo is gone next year as is Griffin. Williams and Kerrigan will probably be extended but the track record in the first round is beyond abysmal. No wonder we are a raging dumpster fire year after year.
