How does it help analyze draft picks?

It provides configurable 'hit' metrics (e.g., 100+ snaps in a season) to evaluate draft pick success, allowing you to assess team drafting performance and player outcomes. Pre-2012 drafts use career games as a fallback.

What is the NFL Draft Analysis tool?

It's a comprehensive tool leveraging a SQLite database of historical NFL draft picks (1980-current), weekly rosters, and player snap counts to analyze performance, draft success, and team trends.

How can I interact with the data?

You can query the database using natural language prompts via an MCP server (integrating with Claude Code) or explore trends and insights visually through its FastAPI web dashboard.

What kind of questions can I ask the tool?

You can ask about team draft hit rates, roster composition (e.g., drafted vs. UDFA), player career outcomes, and specific draft round trends, all through natural language.

What historical data does the tool include?

It features NFL draft picks from 1980-current, weekly rosters from 2002-current, and per-game snap counts from 2012-current, all sourced from nflverse.
