Chris Draft is a career quality starter — a pass rusher whose body of work places Draft in the top half of all players at the position historically. The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Draft's career arc reflects exactly that kind of reliable professional-grade performance.
A edge rusher with a above-average career — the kind of consistent contributor every roster needs. Solid availability (excellent availability over their career) added to their value.
Worth 61 points of value above a freely-available replacement linebacker — top 40% of all 4,649 ranked at the position. 7 of 10 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +8.7 on average.See board →
