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.
