Interesting read from mysticsoto!
The Calculus of the Draft for the Buffalo Bills (http://www.billszone.com/mtlog/archives/2008/04/28/the_calculus_of_the_draft_for_the_buffalo_bills.php)
Every year, it is fun to go through and speculate whether the draft was a good draft, or did too many reaches bring the value/grade level down. Often, this is a difficult task, as different analysts, GMs, scouts and even fans have different players rated differently. As such, I make an attempt to find a consensus of when a player was opined to be drafted, and determine from there whether our draft of said player resulted in a reach or bargain based on that consensus. The NFL trade value chart will be used here to ascertain the value of where each prospect was chosen. The NFL value chart can be found here: http://www.nfldraftworld.com/tvc.htm (http://www.nfldraftworld.com/tvc.htm)
For the weak of heart at math, worry not. We will limit ourselves to simple adding and subtracting here.
