Football Outsiders published a story this week in which they rated the drafting efficiency of every team in the NFL year-by-year from 2010 to 2019, with both 5 and 10-year aggregates.
It was a three step process that started with ‘valuing’ each team’s draft capital (the value of all the draft picks for each year or time period). It will be no surprise to hear that the Cleveland Browns had the most draft capital to work with. The Redskins were rather low on capital, ranking 18th over the 10-year period, with 2012 (the year of RG3) representing the nadir for the franchise.
