A cool data plot by CBS Sports analyzing snap counts from the 2011 draft class.

 

Funny to see where the vaunted Green Bay Packers--considered by many to be the league's build-from-the-draft model--fall in terms of average productivity from their 2011 class. Spoiler alert: dead last.

 

Another spoiler alert: Buffalo has had the 10th most productive class, by their metric.

I'm hoping this is a popular thread because:

  1. It's a slow day for me at work.
     
  2. Let's face it, there's NOTHING left to say about the 2014 draft!! :thumbsup:

I'll say something about the 2011 draft... I bet the 49ers wish they had traded up to the bottom of the 1st rd to take Kaepernick so they had a 5th yr option on his deal instead of 4 years.

Snap counts = productivity?? Well, a team has to send 11 guys out the on offense and 11 on defense.....

 

Look who's left from that draft. Dareus a solid starter, A Williams May be a good safety, Searcy and Hairston backup material. That's it.

The data erroneously puts Rodgers on the roster through 2013. But, if that's a consistent mistake across all teams, then the Bills had an exquisitely average retention percentage from 2011. http://goo.gl/U7z0ZF

 

Also, don't think I overlooked your "Williams may be a good safety" downplay. He may not be a good cornerback, but the only evidence available indicates he is a good safety.
