I am back with an annual update to my series on measuring how teams like the Cardinals do at draft-and-development. This will be a multi-part series. This first installment will essentially add the 2025 season to the numbers and comb out some interesting tidbits, focusing more on the Cardinals than the rest of the league.
Last year’s update is here …. You can follow the chain back from there, if you have spare time.
Additional (ie. later) installments will reflect some methodology changes I am intending but not yet finished with. First, I want to go deeper into assessing the development side of things and will incorporate some early career scouting projections and compare with actual results.
