Rankings as of 2026-09-03, as declared by the corpus that produced them.
Which picks beat their draft slot, and which premium picks fell short. Each player's career KV-H(StatVault's era-normalized Historical Knox value) is measured against the average return for its draft-capital bucket — so a 6th-round gem is judged against other 6th-rounders, and a top-5 miss against other top-5 picks.
3,173 eligible picks · draft classes 2000–2021
Drawn only from top-two-round picks that registered a measurable career and still fell below their slot. Players with no KV-H on record are excluded — absence is a coverage gap, not evidence of a bust.
