I won't even hurt your feelings with the TEs because it's worse. If you include receivers like Aiyuk, Fuller, Lockett, etc., then the hit rate is 0%.
Overall, 12/68 were drafted correctly. 18%.
So, yes. Consensus is *sometimes* right. But not nearly as much as you think.

14/68*** messed up the RB one because Antonio Gibson was included at first. But an incredibly inflated 14.
21% when inflating to help consensus? 1/5 hit rate?
