Of further interest to me. A coupla articles by Bo Wulf on The Athletic about where the best players come from, per round and school. Mostly what you’d figure, but with some surprises. Round One yields the most best players per position, but not all of them. If I read his graph correctly, looks like running back and guard do best in rounds 2-3.
Safety, corner, DT, and Edge do better in rounds 4+ than in 2-3, but not as well as the 1st. But that’s with two extra rounds (4,5,6,7, and a lot of comps) — again, if I read the graph correctly. Center is a tie after the 1st.
Getting well into the weeds: I want to know if there’s a correlation between late round hits and pre-draft rankings. As in, players who were graded much higher, pre-draft, than their eventual selection. Is it the round, or the original assessment, etc. etc.? I’m guessing it’s a mix, but I’d bet a lot of those hits are players who fell, often dramatically, for this or that reason.
