What positions teams invest the most in (in the draft)

Forgot about Zay Jones.  Still surprised we're not at the bottom in that position though.  Very interesting though going through each team.  It just shows you there's multiple ways to build a good and terrible roster.  Poor Chicago can't get the QB position nailed down.

Nice work. It would be interesting to see how trading for players factored into it, but that is a somewhat separate matter.

The Bills surely are better at 5th and 6th round selections than other teams, right? Matt Milano, Khalil Shakir, Tylan Grable, Christian Benford, Damar Hamlin, Dane Jackson, and Wyatt Teller.

 

All of those players range from at least decent (Hamlin and Jackson) up to great (Benford and Milano). There's nearly a hit in every draft. That seems really high to me. I know Grable hasn't really played yet, but all signs point to him being good, in my opinion.

With the way I set this file up it would be very easy to evaluate that (of course, not perfectly, but within reason)

 

Below is the number of draft picks each team has had in rounds 3-7. 

 

I summed the total. Then evaluated how many starts were made by these draft picks. Than landed on average starts made per pick. Buffalo is #1, which I feel is directionally accurate. Again, not perfect, but we sort of know we are good in these rounds and this gives some context.
