Which NFL teams have drafted best over the last 5 years? | USA TODAY Sports Wire

Performance was based on (often cited) Pro Football Focus grades. Positional value was based on the average salary of each position. And the value of the draft pick was based on Jimmy Johnson’s famed draft pick value chart. Performance and games played accounts for about two-thirds of the grade, while pick and positional value accounts for the remaining third.

The grade is not necessarily a representation of the player’s ability but rather the value of the pick he was selected with. For instance, Andrew Luck is probably a better player than Russell Wilson, but Wilson has a higher grade because he was picked in the third round. The Colts do not get credit for being good drafters for making a pick that even the worst GM would have made.

With that out of the way, let’s get to the results.

Mayhew is ranked 26th. This doesn't include his 2014 draft.

Perspective again.
The say... Oh Wilson is a better pick because he was picked lower than Luck. That counts.

Then... Von Miller was considered a valuable pick at #2 overall

Can't say everything is judged on yay and then grade on nay when it suits your purposes.

not to mention the fact that the ever hated by some, Pro Football Focus Grades, were a part of said basis or analysis.

PFF can only be used, by some that absolutely hate what their known for, when warranted by choice of argument

You love PFF. But now because their values expose your beloved Mayhew, you ignore them. Figures.

I'm surprised that the Lions have drafted worse than Jerry Jones.

What a joke. Titans second? Raiders middle of the pack? If they drafted so well those years why do they suck so bad now?

You cant draft well for 5 years and still suck. Something here is not consistent.

Entire 2012 draft looks like a bust now too (to go along w 10 and 11)

They're unhappy w Reiff, might not pick up 5 the year.
Broyles is an injury bust
Bentley is an injury bust
Ronnel Lewis off the team
Tahir Whitehead good back up
Greenwood off the team
Green off the team
Travis Lewis ST at best (13 career tackles and a PED suspension).

I never said, "I Love PFF". So don't go twisting "my so-called or alleged words." It's a pathetic waste of time.

I do, however, find their analytics on a per snap basis quite intriguing and another metric to look at.

I have also been "THE ONE" to make note on this board that Raiola was rated 2nd best C and Warford 3rd best RG on a thread in here. I'm guilty as charged, making those two separate incidents, your Honor.

This has to be off. How are the Patriots #1 and the Lions #26? How can the Pats draft rating be more than double the Lions? I figured it'd be a push or the Pats up by a point or two. PFF must not realize that the Lions and Pats drafted basically the same from 2009-2011.

Some guys haven't been the gm for the last five years, the last drafts for the Rams have been good.

Wow, if Mayhew was 26th with the 2013 draft, then he's got to be close to 32nd without it.
