Just eyeballing the list quickly for Ravens, they didn't draft in '95 (well they did, but they were the Browns still). Of the other five years, they have five of the players listed. That's a pretty solid crop and probably is pretty rare for any team to see that sort of success. Ed Reed almost certainly hits the '02 list. Suggs may in '03. Etc. <br /><br />Would be interesting to split by total value per draft by team, as well as value of the top one or two players by team in each draft - to measure overall value teams get as well as star power they get from each draft.<br /><br />No idea if it's possible to try to develop a list that can compare how important getting stars is vs. drafting well across the board. Basically I'm thinking about ways to try to evaluate whether it's a better strategy to do what the Pats do where they try to get as many picks as possible and never really try going for stars, vs. what teams like say the Jets do where they give away all their depth to try to get a handful of really productive players.<br /><br />Oh the things I'd love to do if I could get hired as an analyst for an NFL team.....Chris Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04996455466572610983noreply@blogger.com
