cmh6476 751 Posted September 3, 2022 From drafts of the past 5 years, 72% of chiefs are still on the roster/ practice squad. It's obvious they missed on some(ceh over Taylor the most glaring), but the Chiefs are still hitting on their drafts. It's mind blowing how some of these teams are cutting early picks after just a couple years and gms still keep their jobs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Serenity Now 44 Posted September 3, 2022 I don’t know how the GM of the Cardinals has a job. Since becoming GM he has more DUIs than draft hits….and they extended him this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmh6476 751 Posted September 3, 2022 This article really does speak to the importance of drafting well. Building a team through free agency simply doesn't work anymore. I wish baseball would follow suit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AxeElf 787 Posted September 4, 2022 46 minutes ago, cmh6476 said: Yay, but over 5 years, we're talking about what, an average of 35 players per team and a difference of 7%? That's a variance of about 2 players, top to bottom. So kinda random to be drawing any conclusions about drafting excellence. I would chart the players who are NOT still with the team, and weight them by round--a failed first round pick is 10, 2nd is 8, 3rd is 6, 4th/4, 5th/2, 6th/7th/1. Highest points loses.

nobody 2,037 Posted September 4, 2022 I'd rather see them grade on games started and pro bowls. I don't really care if a guy whiffs on a 1st rounder if he gets a pro bowler on the 4th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't really care if a guy whiffs on a 1st rounder if he gets a pro bowler on the 4th. its hard to grade this on a level playing field. but there are some teams that draft well, but then trade or release the player and they go to become a star elsewhere too. so some of those players on other teams may actually be good draft picks. I'd also suggest the standard for a successful draft pick is different for a first rounder than it is for a 3rd or 4th rounder. so this will complicate the formula somewhat.

The one swing and miss they had, was huge, but it was at QB. The team that won the Super Bowl had 4 of 6 WR's, 2 of 3 TE's, 4 of 5 OL, their starting RB, their best run stopping DL, 2 of 4 LB's and their entire secondary were all draft picks. Of the team that won the Super Bowl, 16 of the 22 starters (36 of the 53 on the roster), were Buccaneers draft picks or undrafted free agent signees. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd also suggest the standard for a successful draft pick is different for a first rounder than it is for a 3rd or 4th rounder. so this will complicate the formula somewhat. PFF has a WAR value. If that's a good metric, then fine... I really don't know. Let's say that it is, for arguments sake. If we're using that, I'd want to know how many players have a WAR over a certain number. If the baseline is 2 as being a decent player, (not just a roster holder until next draft), then I'd want to know how many guys that are on each team that are at least 2, then 3, then 4, and so on. I don't want a total or an average, because those can muddle up the works. Tampa drafted Vita Vea and Tristan Wirfs, they're two of the best players in the NFL at their position and could raise the value of group to be higher than what it should be. As @nobody said, I also don't care what round a player was picked in, just pick a good one. Conversely where I disagree with him on is Pro Bowls. They are a terrible metric because it's more of a popularity contest than a contest of merit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
