interpretation is correct. I don't understand the question about leeway though

*edit, or you mean like injuries and such?

If we do a whole league comparison it should all even out. No reason to deviate from just a straight AV comparison at first IMO

Like let's say the baseline for the 61st pick is 21.  If the player has an AV of 20 (just throwing out a number), are we going with the black/white definition and calling that a bust?

Might as well. Could ignore the word bust and go hit versus miss. Just saying you didn't get what the average value is. Rather than use a loaded word like bust or what not. Don't wanna get in an argument about what a bust is to everyone.

As long as you do it the same for every team it'll be fine. Just wanna see where we're at more or less. Won't be a perfect way to do this.

As a baseline, I'm using these standards as my baseline.

1st Round - Above-Average Starter
2nd/3rd Round - Good Starter/High Quality Backup
4th/5th Round - Decent Backup/Key Special Teams Player
6th/7th Round - Good Special Teams Player

To me, that's where my standards are.  If you disagree, note why.  And for the record, I won't say that a 6th or 7th round is a bust because those are guys that likely have a priority UDFA grades on them, and expecting anything out of them is setting yourself up for failure.

I agree, this study should factor expected value of draft slot.

I'd suggest this formula: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/blog/index9a9b.html?p=527

And just use AV for every player. 

If you guys are interested in using AV or something from pro football reference, I found a spreadsheet I made that basically shows what the expected AV is for a given draft slot. Not sure how to link it. Anyways, to summarize some of the data: (AP1= all-pro 1st teams, PB= pro bowls, St= career starts, CarAV- career value, DrAV= career value provided to team that drafted plater, G=games played). CarAV is the key metric and seems to have a steady progression that mirrors the draft pick value chart pretty closely, though there are a few swings towards the 6th/7th round. I threw in the other numbers like PB's just for fun. Data was taken from 1993-2002 drafts (to make sure all the players in the study were retired and no longer accumulating AV). 1993 was the start of the free agency era, so I figured that was a reasonable stopping point..

though there are some issues with using career AV since lots of the players picked by the league during TT's tenure are still accumulating AV. Due to the way the cuts work and the average length of nfl career, it might be safe to grade pre-2012 drafts without the CV verdicts changing much, but the jury's still out for alot of players taken in 2012 & beyond.

I don't think we should call a player from any round who never could get it going because of injury.   No GM can account for that.  Sherrod is an example.

It's a bit of a pain to weed that out for every team though. That's kind of the issue.

ideally, that's true. but not sure if that's gonna be feasibly possible to chart unless people really feel like googling all these thousands of players to make sure the ones that are cut weren't cut because of injury. I feel like the injury luck should balance out for everyone in the long run anyways, but I agree it'd be nice to account for if people are willing to dig that deeply.

It's probably not that hard. I would know a ton of them myself just scrolling through. I imagine over time it kind of washes out a little with everyone. Maybe not over five years.

I'd like to just see this in a basic form first then maybe do more with it?
