Let’s be clear from the top: This is about the best player ever drafted by a team, not the best value ever found by the club.
If that were the case, we’d have a list of really good players in the fifth round instead of Hall of Fame ones in the first and second rounds. That’s madness.
For some franchises, the pick was obvious. Nobody is besting Lawrence Taylor for the Giants (sorry, spoiler alert). For others, it was extremely difficult, and value had to be the tiebreaker.
