Having studied other team’s draft histories, I have noticed that patterns start to emerge that betray a little, what types of players different teams are looking for and what they are want to do on draft night. In the same way that teams study play-calling tendencies before a game, we can begin to evaluate team’s drafting tendencies when considering whether to trade up and above them or to play out scenarios on who might be there from our board when we pick.

This who’s who of wide receiver busts that fell out of simply looking at top 10 lists on the yards per reception data-point led me to wonder, what the history of the top of this list looked like. That was where I found Breshad Perriman – sitting proudly at the top of the 2014 list.
