Rating Washington’s drafts in the post-Shanahan era

Every Washington fan seems to have an opinion about how well, or badly, the team has drafted, and which GMs and scouting directors have done a good or bad job. There was strong support for Kyle Smith among certain sectors of the fanbase, while the short-lived tenure of GM Scott McCloughan was more polarizing. Not many will admit to liking Bruce Allen, for good reason, but were his drafts any worse than the other guys?

I have been trying to figure out how to put objective ratings on the team’s draft performance for a while, but could never quite figure it out.
