When does value start in the NFL Draft?

The notion of value in the NFL Draft is a funny one.

We discuss value as some idea based on where a player is rated by pundits before the draft and then where they are picked in the draft.

The thing is value is really defined as the overall impact a player has on the team and where he was drafted.

For instance, Justin Bethel was a great special teams pick by the Arizona Cardinals.

Drafted in the sixth round of the 2012 NFL Draft, Bethel had a great overall career as a special teams contributor for the Cardinals and now the New England Patriots.
