Almanac draft analytics
The best and the worst
Best drafted team
2023 Paper Champions
Chad Van Horn, 11 and 3, Champion
3.159 adjusted draft value z score
16.51 percent draft value share
First of 120 historical drafts. Christian McCaffrey, D.J. Moore, Raheem Mostert, Dak Prescott, and Cole Kmet drove the class.
2024 Almanac, pages 42 and 200 to 202Worst drafted team
2017 The Armed Rodgery
Nolan Dieter, 2 and 11, 12th
Negative 0.643 raw draft value
1.155 percent draft value share
The Almanac calls this the worst draft in league history. The team scored 944.5 points, 72.7 per game.
2024 Almanac, pages 193 and 200 to 202Methodology note
Max Mortellaro's 2015 draft has the lowest adjusted draft z score. Nolan Dieter's 2017 draft remains the Almanac's overall worst because it is last in raw draft value and draft value share. The labels above follow the Almanac's stated judgment, with the metric exception preserved here.
Best regular season team by scoring
2023 Scur Doug
Chris Scurry, 8 and 6, 3rd
1,821.92 points
130.14 per game
