The detailed tables in Ellinger’s articles are pretty interesting in their own right. It’s pretty interesting to see how the Rams never struck it exceptionally big aside from Aaron Donald, but consistently got decent value arguably just one “bad” draft since Holmes has been the director of college scouting (2016’s 71%). Now, we are not going to do a formal difference-in-difference, but the before and after is pretty obvious. Anyway, when you look at the Rams before Holmes took over in 2013 versus the years prior when he was a national scout or an area scout with less influence, there is a pretty sharp jump. It is a good thing Jeremy highlighted the Rams in bright yellow, because I was looking for “STL” in the left-most column. With a cost (the draft chart value of the picks) and benefit (average value generated) in hand, Ellinger plots out the cost-benefit ratios for every team. The outcomes of the players actually selected are taken to be normalized approximate value generated across the players’ careers. What Jeremy references in his tweet above is a table from Benjamin Ellinger’s guest article on Football Outsiders titled “ NFL Drafting Efficiency, 2010-2019.” In the article, Ellinger states that the total “value” of draft picks available to each team is measured by Chase Stuart’s draft value chart to convert pick positions into a single metric. In a previous article, Jeremy noted that the Rams traded away their early picks and still managed to find a lot of useful talent in their draft classes.
