Does this make sense to anyone?
I like a methodology where David Woodley is the 2nd-greatest post-merger QB steal behind Tom Brady because he was so bad he lost his starting job after going to the Super Bowl and was out of the NFL shortly thereafter, and a guy like Steve Emtman is penalized for continuing to play football after two blown out knees. If Emtman would have retired after his rookie year, he would have been "better" than had he continued playing. It seems like this exercise is based on a player's sense of timing than anything of merit.
The whole ROI list seems to be a list of randomly-generated players. Mark Lomas was the 10th best ROI pick in post-merger history...the same Mark Lomas who played defensive line for 5 years without distinction on some terrible Jet defenses from 1970-1974. How does Lomas rate a better career than Richard Dent, who was picked later in the draft than Lomas. I don't really understand any of this.
