"It's no coincidence that more than half of the 2015 AP All-Pro team was selected in the first round of the NFL draft. That's where teams find talent, skill and athleticism rarely available later in the draft. Under the new CBA, these first-rounders no longer come at an exorbitant price, so hitting on a top pick also provides more value than a similarly productive free agent.

So which teams have hit more than they've missed? To answer that question, we utilized Pro Football Reference's Approximate Value (AV) metric to break down every first-round pick over the past 10 seasons."

 

A pretty neat list.  I cant say I disagree with any of their selections.   How would you rank them?

There was also a similar article looking at all draftees, not merely the 1st rounders, over the past 3 and 5 seasons. 

We had the fewest picks during that time period, but the greatest "bang for the buck" - i.e. the greatest added value per pick.  Very nice reading for those interested in analysis and metrics.

I created a thread about it a few days ago, but not sure how many folks saw it as most folks were still talking about Josh.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Not sure he is in the top ten but: His 9.99 RAS score, second among 1,512 tackles since 1987, isn't a gimmick. You see every bit of that explosiveness translate to the field when he kicks and slides in pass sets. NFLDraftBuzz

      Legette as a TE

      By TD alt · Posted

      Ya win some, ya lose some. Legette looks to be a loss.  The time for disappointment has passed. I expect nothing, so if I get something I will be surprised.

      Steve Smith on Ron Rivera

      By TD alt · Posted

      I got called into HR one time, as they were doing their research after a verbal altercation that I had with another employee. He was the one that started the sh¡t and had the nerve to go to HR. Well, I did the meeting, & the manager gave me her card & said if there was anything else I wanted to say regarding the investigation, to contact her. I thought about it later that day, so I used our company email and told her that I was willing to take a lie detector test, and that if he and his two friends were willing to do the same, once it was determined that they were lying and that I was telling the truth, then they would have to be punished accordingly. Funny thing is, after that, I never heard from her again, or anything about the investigation. It's like it never happened.  Anyway, yeah 89 isn't doing himself any favors with this one. He wants to fight with a guy old enough to be his dad because of Rivera's lack of communication, even if there was some perceived hypocrisy going on. That's just not a good look.
