So I was trying to look back at the 2016 draft and figure out what all pass rushers were drafted. I came across this:

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/play-index/draft-finder.cgi

Basically, it lets you look at the draft a whole lot of different ways.

You can look at all the players drafted at a position in a given year.

You can look at all the players drafted at a position in the first round every year.

You can filter by pro team, school, conference, etc.

I thought it was pretty interesting, and I thought some of you might want to mess around with it.

You can also only look at past Browns drafts if you're feeling masochistic.

All the reference sites are gold mines. The draft index specifically has contributed to several posts I’ve made recently. Good stuff.

yoooooo.. Major props on this!!!

nfldraftblitz.com use to have something similar to this, but they stopped it. I'be been looking for something like this ever since! Thanks!!

Might want to note that before 2015 DBs aren't broken down into CB and Safety.

I was trying to look at when the first safety is typically drafted and how he compared to the later drafted safeties each year. It wasn't coming up with anything before 2015 when I only had safety selected. Had to do DB and S and weed out the corners that were included manually. It definitely was still better than sifting through everything.
