According to this analytics chart, these are the top drafting teams of the last 10 years

Given that in the "Peters is out - GM search down to 3 candidates" post there seemed to be a lot of speculation as to how bad teams have drafted that these candidates are coming from.

I mostly assumed the same thing about the Seahawks and Patriots, but after a quick Google search to see if anyones crunched the data, I found a reliable source:

https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stat-analysis/2020/nfl-drafting-efficiency-2010-2019

They break it down pretty seamlessly for each chart. Starting off with who had the best draft capital (using the Chase Stewart draft value chart), then by draft returns (which teams have picked the best players consistently, regardless of draft position), and finally combining both to see which teams make the most out of each pick.

I recommend checking it out for yourself.

 

But for the TL;DR crowd:

Seahawks - Fitterer - 1ST in draft efficiency in the last 10 years, 10TH in the last 5

Patriots - Ossenfort - 8TH in draft efficiency the last 10 years, 15TH in the last 5

Chiefs - Poles - 7TH in draft efficiency the last 10 years, 1ST in the last 5

49ers - Peters - 23RD in draft efficiency the last 10 years, 18TH in the last 5 (just one spot above the Panthers)

 

Based on the data alone, looks like we should be going after Ryan Poles 1st, Fitterer 2nd and Ossenfort 3rd.

But who knows.

Saw Jason Lacanfora tweet at someone that you should follow the money, Fitterer has the same agent as Rhule. Take it for what it's worth. Personally I don't care who it is, I just want to see this org take a step forward.

It's not gonna be Marty.

Whatever else there may be, there's that.

Yup, seeing as Peters is "out", it's more than likely going to be Scott, Mr. Scot.

Very possible.

David Newton thinks we might hear the answer later today. Pretty much everyone thinks it'll be tomorrow at the latest, maybe tomorrow morning.

It just goes to show that what fans think is mostly based on limited, somewhat superficial information (not saying that this particular metric is the be-all-end-all).

We should respect the work of the professionals--those whose business is to know certain things, those with more access, and those in the know.

Relatively speaking...

I remember people used to say 'well, Marty Hurney is a professional GM" and he was, but relative to the other professional GMs in the NFL, he wasn't very good.

Likewise, Jimmy Clausen is certainly a better quarterback than any of us will ever be, just not good enough to play in the NFL.

    • I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever
    • Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
