Just by simple comparison I picked the Packers as they drafted fairly close to us in the first round in most of those drafts. However it turns out they spent over 1000 more in draft capital (7429.6). Here is what they got....

I dont follow the Packers so you will have to tell me how they compare.

Also it really is hard to tell with the last 2 draft classes (2022 and 2023) because its still too early to evaluate without being in camps and practices.

Furthermore to be more objective we should really try to find 3 to 5 teams in the 6000 to 7000 Draft Capital range for a well rounded comparison.

Why not pick a good team to compare us to instead of another 5-6 team?
