Comparing average games played, it’s really quite bizarreObviously there is no such thing as a "cursed" pick, but the sample size is now large enough to be significant. For whatever reason pick 6 seems to lead to comparatively poor results. Perhaps that's around the point in the draft where the elite talent is gone, and clubs start picking for needs? Or the point at which you take a risk on a raw but talented player who looks like they have elite traits, or whatever?
Mind you, it's hard to argue that pick 7 should be any different.
