Draft Successes and Failures: Diving Into the Numbers Part 3-2016

          With 25th,(412) 29th,(262) and 32nd(129) ranked drafts respectively from 2014 - 2016, that puts Buffalo at the bottom with a 3 year total of 803 points. The Bills are 210 points below the next worse team, Los Angeles Chargers. That gap is equivalent to two solid above average draft picks. That's a lot of ground to make up just to get out of last place.

          Meanwhile, Minnesota and Atlanta keep churning out good draft after good draft. Dallas and Chicago are keeping pace with two great drafts and a middle of the road draft.

          The Buccs however aren't fairing as well as I originally thought. Posting 24th, 4th and 27th place finishes respectively. As mentioned in the previous two installments, these rankings are fluid for eight years. That doesn't bode well for Tampa's chances of bouncing back. As of the time I type this, Jameis Winston and Vernon Hargreaves III are no longer on the team. Therefore will no longer generate points.
