Someone Explain This Chart To Me

[Jon Snow]

I got nothing. I'm not sure what it's saying.

Then it's based on pick position, not actual players.

I thought that was obvious?

I think it's saying Cleveland mathematically should have the best draft based on where they pick and the number of picks they have  

 

this.

 

using this chart (or a variant that account for comp picks) it shows the total "value" of each teams' picks in this years draft based on round/pick number. 

 

so based on draft pick/trade value, cleveland's picks are more than three times as valuable as buffalo's.

Then it's based on pick position, not actual players.

 

So back to the first guy's point. It just shows what teams were bad last year, and who traded for a few additional picks.

[Catweisers]

 Don't know but I think it is based on how much impact each team can get out of draft class.

Bill's must not have many holes in its team thus they have least points.  Folks on top need every body. 

 Looks like what it says I think

[L-TownCat]

Lol, no. If you look on the graph, it says "Total of all 2015 draft picks".

 

They took the average carrer values of each player ever drafted at each position in the draft.  Juxtaposed that with each teams current 2015 Draft picks.  Then they assigned an over all value based on those factors.

 

If your high on the chart you have a statistically better chance of landing high quality players more often than those lower on the list.

 

MR. Scot is correct.

[jasonluckydog]

I'm sure the chart is representing gravity.

[SIGCHI222]

There's lies, damn lies and statistics.

It's not a difficult concept to understand....each pick or spot in the draft automatically is assigned a value.The only issue is that each draft has a different amount of talent. In this draft, there are said to only be 20 1st round grades, which should mean picks in the 20's should have a lower amount of points than in years with a ton of first round talent. Same goes with middle and late rounds.

TLDR; The point system is somewhat, but not fully bullshit.
