There is no perfect formula for drafting. Players surprise every year, whether they're an undrafted free agent-turned-Pro Bowler or a first-round pick who never starts a game. Likewise, no two franchises have the same needs or are at the same stage in their team-building process, therefore it can be difficult to directly compare how squads approach the draft.
Still, there are certain standards teams can follow to more consistently find the right players. Taking advantage of a top-10 pick, selecting players geared to succeed in a passing league and valuing the right positions at the right spots all go into taking the best prospects.
