Select Team

This report asks how much value each team got from its draft picks compared with the draft capital it spent. A score near 100 is roughly league average; higher means the team produced more value per unit of draft cost.

Player Value

Players earn credit for staying with the drafting team, becoming contributors, playing regular-season snaps, and earning All-Pro or AP player-award honors. AP recognition uses finalists/winners where available and pre-2022 vote finishers for older seasons.

Usage

Usage combines historical starter outcomes, sustained starter seasons, and snap share, so a player can add value beyond a simple starter label.

Draft Cost

Early picks are expected to produce more. Team value is compared against pick cost so late-round hits are rewarded and early-round misses matter more.

Bust Penalties

Rounds 1-3 can receive explicit negative value when an eligible player never becomes a starter, never clears the snap-share threshold, and earns no major honors.

Team Context

Team record applies only a small adjustment to snap-share value. Playing a lot on a stronger team gets a modest boost, but record does not drive the ranking.

Limits

This is a scorecard, not a perfect front-office grade. It does not fully capture injuries, scheme fit, contracts, playoff value, or who else was available.

Draft Pick Cost

Team value is divided by draft capital, so expensive early picks carry higher expectations.

Snap Share

Snap share gives partial credit for real playing time, even when a player does not cross a starter threshold.

Starter Longevity

The first starter season is already rewarded by starter status; extra starter seasons add capped bonus value.

Normalization

Raw player scores are adjusted so newer draft classes are not punished for having fewer NFL seasons.

Bust Adjustment

Rounds 1-3 can receive explicit negative value when a pick has enough time to develop but never becomes a meaningful contributor.
