The Draft Archive

Every selection from the completed Delta drafts, recovered directly from ESPN’s authenticated Draft Recap and arranged on the war table.

How the grade works

One honest delta.

Pick delta equals draft-day ESPN ADP minus actual selection. A positive delta is value and moves toward green; a negative delta is a reach and moves toward red. Results, tendencies, and positional strategies are published only when both sides of that comparison are preserved. Player positions and NFL club labels are shown exactly as ESPN displays them now; ESPN can update a player’s club on an old recap, so Delta does not present that label as a draft-night snapshot.

The Biggest Delta

The actual picks are now preserved. Value and reach grades remain deliberately sealed because ESPN’s recovered 2024 and 2025 ranking sheets were published after Delta drafted. Delta will never swap in current ADP and pretend it existed on draft night.
