2016 NFL Draft Team Rankings: Filling Needs

By Rick Morris

These rankings are based on a points system devised from the Top 75 Overall, devised by FDH Senior Editor Jason Jones, in PRO FOOTBALL DRAFTOLOGY 2016.  Unlike the Best Player rankings, which simply assign a point total based on perceived value of the players, this system balances value of the top players on a sliding scale throughout the Top 75 Overall against the Team Needs that I identified in the draft guide to record the teams that filled their most urgent needs with the best players.
