How it works: every pick is compared with what its draft slot usually produces. A hit beat the slot. A star had a season in the top 10% at his position. An early bust is a round 1 to 3 pick who never produced. The letter blends value over the slot, starters, stars and early busts. A best season counts only after 16 games, and the last two classes are still developing.
