"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.
