Thursday’s draft is approaching quickly and we will begin the process of grading drafts ridiculously early. However, there is still a little time for historical deep dives. Some people have no use for these kinds of things and I certainly respect that perspective. However, I have always been a big believer in the idea that past is prologue.
So, I embarked on answering two fairly straightforward questions. The first question is when the best quarterback from a class is actually selected? So, I went back and looked at the 2001 through 2020 drafts and took the quarterback with the highest weighted average value according to pro-football reference.
