History of Team Drafting

Based on the infamous Shultz historical spreadsheets for the league, I have gone back and looked at how players drafted by the various teams have ended up. The data seems to me to explain a lot of league history.

Some caveats first. First, this is all based on the team that drafted a player. So, if they were later traded, released, etc, the player's stats all still "count" for the team that originally drafted him. Second, this doesn't take into account where someone was drafted. Teams don't get any credit (or demerits) for picking high (or low) in the draft. Third, this goes back to the inception of the league and counts all the drafts by the various owners (or computers) running the teams.

That said, here are the numbers.
