* Draft classes from the past two years require additional time for comprehensive evaluation. Players develop at different rates across positions—quarterbacks typically need 2-3 seasons to adjust to NFL complexity, while running backs and edge rushers may show immediate impact. Year three is considered the benchmark for accurate draft assessment, allowing for scheme adjustments and development within professional systems.
