Rate Your Team's Draft Rds 1-4 (1 Viewer)

Topic came up about teams who do well versus those who suck. For each team, use the following rubric from 2005-2009 (2010 seems too soon to tell for most players):

1. Count the *hits* (good/productive players)

2. Give them a ranking of 3, 2, or 1 (3-studs, 2-excellent, and 1-adequate/contributing role players, respectively)

3. Divide by the number of picks selected in Rds 1-4.

This is a good link: NFL Draft History - By Team

I'll keep the rankings below (and will adjust, if compelling arguments are made for +/- points). Clearly, individual differences/biases will skew rankings, but that's all part of the discussion/debate.

TEAM RANKINGS

1. 1.23 Pittsburgh Steelers (Notable 3s: Wallace, Timmons, Woodley, Miller)

SCORE = 11/12 = 0.92

I'm sure there will be disagreement on more than a few of these. I thought Rogers, McIntosh and Davis were hard to score as they seemed to be "tweeners" so it may all work out in the wash anyways (i.e. I thought Rogers deserved more of a 2.5 and McIntosh a 1.5). I think there's legitimate room to argue that Tryon and Campbell could be 1's, too.

ETA: I have no idea how this ranking/scoring system will play out league wide, but I was a little surprised at what seems like a high score here. Probably skewed by such a small denominator.

21/24=0.875

If they have to be alive or still playing for the Broncos then 12/24=0.5

If you give a -6 for drafting Maurice Clarett in the 3rd round then 0/24=0

edit: I thought about giving McBath and Foxworth a 1, but I'm not sure Knowshow or Ayers deserved their 1's so I figured it was a wash.

Yeah, surprising to see so few picks there. But, I agree...you guys have done very well with limited selections. That 0.92 would be hard to beat.
 
Do the players have to be productive for the team that drafted them? Do they have to still be alive?
Productive player period. Not team-dependent. If, during the time the player was alive, they were productive, give 'em the score.I liked your Clarett deduction. For simplicity's sake, I'm interested only in what players hit and to what degree they hit. Mistakes are definitely part of the draft, but it compounds the subjectivity of missing on a kid and whether that happened in the 1st, 2nd, 5th, 7th round. I just consider any nonproductive selection a null pick.
 
For starters, give Jason Campbell 2 pts. He started many games and is still a starter (take that for what it's worth). Both for crappy teams, but not just because of middling QB play. If you get a 5 year starter, that's gotta be worth something.

I've got 21/24 - .87. It's tough, though, because I've left out a few guys who have played significant minutes (Barnes, Williams, etc..) and have probably underrated some of the OL (all of those guys have been unquestioned starters at some point). If anyone's game, I could use some perspective on my ratings.

Completely ignoring the actual scoring system in the OP, based on the parameters of the thread (Draft picks in rounds 1-4 from 2005-2009), here are the combined career values for all players picked by each team in those rounds from those years. Bear in mind that this is somewhat flawed, as some teams made trades that caused them to make fewer picks or get extra picks. NE, for example traded picks to obtain Randy Moss and Wes Welker (and also lost a 1st round pick from Spygate). Value wise, they would have "earned" another 46 points from Moss and 55 from Welker, but those do not count as they did not draft them.

He's gotta at least get a 1. Started 15 as a rookie, team went 11-5 and won the division and he led Cincy in tackles.

He actually was looking superb up until he fliped out. Also led team in Forced Fumbles and had 5 interceptions.

I would call a Pro-Bowl caliber player a stud draft pick (3). If you disagree that he is a top 5-6 NFL TE, then you can argue that. I would have called the R.Kalil pick a 3, not a 2. I would call a multi-year starter an excellent pick (2). I would call a servicable backup that has played many games, started a good chunk of a season or been a special teams standout a 1.

I'm a Wisconsin alum, so I was pulling for Erasmus James to be great...but he was an unmitigated bust. Using the OP's criteria, if Marion Barber gets a 1, I don't think there's any way you can justify Erasmus James getting a 1. :thumbup:

I gave him a little bit of credit since it was injuries that derailed him. But then again, he had them coming in so the Vikes should have steered clear.And Barber should at least be a 2. Just because he has had a short shelf life doesn't mean he wasn't really good for 2-3 years.

I won't argue the Steeler rankings already listed...

But I will say that they might as well trade away all their 5-7 RD picks. :shrug:

Or just go home & let the clock run out. save the money & pay the veterans instead.

Good grief those are some worthless selections.

Pretty-much what I was thinking. This, of course, isn't scientific, and everyone's going to vary a little bit here and there in terms of rankings. The only submission that stands out thus far is the very generous ratings by the Titans fan here. Maybe someone has a more tempered view on their recent drafts that they would be willing to share.
And Barber should at least be a 2. Just because he has had a short shelf life doesn't mean he wasn't really good for 2-3 years.
Yeah, think Barber makes a case for a 1.5 rating. But, as a Cowboy fan, I felt a 2 might bleed a little too much homerism here.

.... 4 Fred Gibson Georgia

So, from 2005-2009 as asked: 27/22 = 1.23

From 2004-2010: 39/29 = 1.34
Wouldn't calling Heath Miller a stud be a little bit very generous.
I would call a Pro-Bowl caliber player a stud draft pick (3). If you disagree that he is a top 5-6 NFL TE, then you can argue that. I would have called the R.Kalil pick a 3, not a 2. I would call a multi-year starter an excellent pick (2). I would call a servicable backup that has played many games, started a good chunk of a season or been a special teams standout a 1.
Pretty-much what I was thinking. This, of course, isn't scientific, and everyone's going to vary a little bit here and there in terms of rankings. The only submission that stands out thus far is the very generous ratings by the Titans fan here. Maybe someone has a more tempered view on their recent drafts that they would be willing to share.
One Pro-Bowl as an alternate because the starter was in the Super Bowl and couldn't play. And we aren't using the Pro-Bowl as a measure of success are we?

That said, I may be think in terms of fantasy a little to much, but Miller isn't a top 5-6 TE in the NFL.

21/27 = 0.78. If Stafford and Best stay healthy next year, this will probably go up a couple points.

Of note - 0.56 during the Matt Millen era, 1.1 since he was fired.

:rant: I love it when the obvious becomes even more obvious with a little scoring system and a calculator.
 
Very subjective. Some people ranking potential over production. Should Kevin Kolb gets a 2 points for his 7 career starts? I say no.

Also some teams excell in signing undrafted free agents. Green bay, for example, found Tramon Williams, Sam Shields and Frank Zombo etc. No points for the scouting department there.

I was thinking the same thing about Kolb. Adjusting for time in the league I guess Jimmy Clausen would be a 2 also.

Just taking pick from the 1st 4 round can really bias things. It makes Chilly look like a genius. 21/13 = 1.61 for the Brad Childress era.

I won't argue the Steeler rankings already listed...But I will say that they might as well trade away all their 5-7 RD picks. :lmao: Or just go home & let the clock run out. save the money & pay the veterans instead.Good grief those are some worthless selections.
There are some useful players in there. A couple things you need to remember though. 1) Nobody is turning that many late round picks into quality players. 2) There hasn't been a ton of opportunity to get on the field for a lot of these guys with a good team like Pittsburgh.2009 - Pittsburgh Steelers7 241 David Johnson TE Arkansas State2008 - Pittsburgh Steelers5 156 Dennis Dixon QB Oregon6 194 Ryan Mundy FS West Virginia2007 - Pittsburgh Steelers5 170 William Gay CB Louisville2005 - Pittsburgh Steelers6 204 Chris Kemoeatu G Utah
 
Alright, I went ahead and did my Miami Dolphins, although I'd be interested to see whether or not Ministry of Pain agrees with me on the rankings that I gave. I tried to be as unbiased as possible, but it's definitely possible some of the inner fan got to me during the evaluation process.

Going to have to disagreed with you here.Davis was having a pro-bowl type of season when he got hurt and was showing stud potentail. Definately warrants a 2.

DeAngelo Williams is a stud. Carry 5.0 per carry average ranks him among guys like Barry Sanders and Gale Sayers.

No Way on earth Otah grades out as a 1. He probably starts on 90% of the teams in the league.

If guys are grading people like Sydney Rice as a 3, Otah and Davis warrant a 2.

I come up with 24/24 = 1.0

Initially I had those guys rated higher, but injuries dropped them. I do agree that there have been some homer grades, but I ranked our guys based on production and playing. All of the guys that I dropped down have had serious injuries or missed at least 8 games over the last two years, so I couldn't give them those higher grades. All the guys you disagreed with I had the following note for "Guys underlined are guys who can move up to the next echelon pending health and continued growth.", or specifically noted as injury issues if I ranked them a 2.
