With the weekend’s NFL Draft behind us, let’s take a closer look at which teams reached on their picks — or got the most value from them.
We can do this by subtracting each player’s overall pick number from their pre-draft prospect ranking — in this case, from Arrowhead Pride’s consensus prospect rankings. The resulting reach value tells us whether the team obtained good value from the pick (a negative number) or reached past the player’s value (a positive number).
Then by averaging the values for each team’s selections, we can see which franchises got the best value from their draft picks in Detroit.
