The draft, re-graded.
Every class from 2015 through 2024, re-ordered by realized career value — weighted career AV (Approximate Value, Pro-Football-Reference's one-number measure of a player's on-field contribution), Pro Bowls, All-Pro nods, seasons started. One re-draft per class, the steals, the busts, and what the consensus board missed. The window rolls forward each spring, once the newest class has two completed NFL seasons behind it.

How the re-grade works
Each class is re-ordered by weighted career AV (the Pro-Football-Reference method), with ties broken by All-Pro selections, Pro Bowls, and seasons started. No model, no projections — a class is graded only by careers that actually happened. Classes fewer than four seasons old are marked provisional.
