Which NFL Teams Draft the Best? Hint: they both wear purple With the 2021 NFL Draft approaching at the end of the month, it seems apropos to take a look back at how well every team in the NFL has drafted in recent years. In particular, I looked back again at the period since Rick Spielman took over as Vikings’ General Manager in 2012, and how every team in the NFL has done over those last nine drafts, including the few supplemental drafts and college free agent signings. In order to value the contribution each draft pick made to the team that drafted them, I used Pro Football Reference’s Draft Approximate Value (DrV) metric, which is the Approximate Value of a player to the team that drafted him, or in the case of college free agents, the AV for the team that originally signed him after the draft. Once that player leaves the team that originally drafted/signed them, whatever future value they accrue does not apply. So, a player drafted by one team and accrues an AV of 15 while with that team, then signs with another team and accrues 10 more AV points, still has a DrV of 15.
