After every NFL draft is completed, pundits come out and assign letter grades for each team. Somewhere in the article you read " . . but of course the true winners and losers of this draft will not be determined until several years have passed . .".
Draft Tek (www.drafttek.com) has taken it upon themselves to review the drafts of previous years, and assign each team a score. Currently, they're about 70% complete with the 2005 draft. The scoring system is unique, but certain to elicit a few naysayers. If you are one, you can still impress your friends with plenty of "Whatever happened to . . . " trivia from their research.
Draft Tek's scoring system attempts to measure how successful a given team is at evaluating (and drafting) talent. Anybody can find starter quality players in the first round. Right Lions?? It is for this reason Draft Tek rewards teams for drafting serviceable players in the later rounds moreso than the day 1 elite. A team that consistently gets 4 or 5 contributors from each draft is in much better financial shape than those teams that annually play free agent roulette. In theory, this leads to long term competitiveness.
The 2005 Dallas Cowboys draft class was reviewed most recently. Of the 20 teams scored to date, the Cowboys rate highest. They're getting production from six (6) draftees from 2005. First round pick DeMarcus Ware is a Pro-Bowler. And 7th rounder Jay Ratliff is a key cog on the Defensive front.
