The draft, re-graded by what actually happened

Every class from 2015 through 2024, re-ordered by realized career value — Career Score, our open-data index of playing time, durability, second-contract market value, and honors — plus 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 Career Score — our open-data index of playing time, durability, second-contract market value, and first-six-seasons honors — 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.
