Here’s something to take our minds off the terrible news that our best player was just lost for the season to injury.
Every pick in the NFL draft can be assigned a value. Draftniks liked to discuss the “Jimmy Johnson” chart for a long time, but it has fallen into disfavor because it weights the first ten picks too heavily. Another value assignment system supposedly uses the averaged career total approximate value, AV, for every player taken in the spot.
So for example the average career AV for players taken with the fifth overall pick, like Bradley Chubb, is 24.
