WAR Per Season by Draft Pick
I've attempted to replicate Stephen Loftus's work here with my league. This primarily involves using a weighted average of PA or IP to determine what a "Season" means for a player. Then take the average WAR/Season based on the draft pick and origin. It appears that college arms are the most sure bet and that there is a steady trend up through the 10th Round. From there, small sample size and random changes in talent level really make things get a little crazy. This only accounts for players who were drafted and made the Major Leagues, so only a very small percentage of players past Round 10 show up here.
