One of the things I do in my real job is make the distinction between achievement and expectation. For example, if someone with a big budget finds a nice house, then the achievement is nice, but it only meets expectations. On the other hand, if someone finds a great house on a limited budget, then that’s a real achievement that exceeds expectations.
Leonard Floyd was the Bears’ top draft pick, and—in a rarity for the organization—a player they traded up to acquire. He is one of ten DE/OLB players drafted between spots 4 and 14 since 2011. That range represents the five spots in front of him and five spots behind him, making for an 11-slot band, or about a third of a round in the draft.
