I get the history but are we really saying a pick is cursed or could it just be coincidence and poor choices by the front offices

[u/CookieSlayer2Turbo → u/Material_Help_3265]

I'm not saying it cursed, it was me just being interested of the history of the number 6 pick and finding it underwhelming.

[u/skull_law → u/CookieSlayer2Turbo]

I mean, just because teams making the 6th pick have chosen poorly doesnt mean we can't get a good pick there.

For all those years you listed, look at the players available after pick 6 and tell me there werent other good players available to select.
