I have done this exercise before but let's take the Fanspeak rankings and create a list of players of interest within certain ranges.
As a test case, we'll take the #16 draft order in each round, using the 2017 distribution of compensatory picks, and we'll say that any player ranked within 20% of Rich Hill's chart value of the #16 pick in the round is "within range".
These are the players at each stage that would go on my short list for being picked. I've bolded the values that I often find too compelling to pass up:
Mid-1st (Rankings #010-040): WR Christian Kirk, OG Billy Price, DT Vita Vea, LB Roquon Smith, CB Tarvarus McFadden, CB Denzel Ward, CB Jaire Alexander, CB Josh Jackson, S Derwin James, S Ronnie Harrison
Mid-2nd (Rankings #041-070): RB Royce Freeman, RB Rashaad Penny, TE Mark Andrews, OT Orlando Brown, OG Isaiah Wynn, DE Marcus Davenport, LB Malik Jefferson
Mid-3rd (Rankings #071-112): RB Sony Michel, RB Bo Scarborough, WR Simmie Cobbs, TE Hayden Hurst, TE Mike Gesicki, OG Will Hernandez, DE Clelin Ferrell, DE Dorance Armstrong, CB Holton Hill, CB Isaiah Oliver, S Damon Webb
Mid-4th (Rankings #113-150): QB Josh Allen, RB Mark Walton, WR Jester Weah, WR Anthony Miller, TE Ian Thomas, OT Timon Parris, OC Frank Ragnow, CB Carlton Davis
Mid-5th (Rankings #151-190): QB Clayton Thorson, RB Kerryon Johnson, TE Adam Breneman, LB Josey Jewell, LB Matthew Thomas, LB Skai Moore, CB Deatrick Nichols
Mid-6th (Rankings #191-224): QB Ryan Finley, RB Kalen Ballage, RB Jaylen Samuels, TE Dallas Goedert, OG Braden Smith, DE Lorenzo Carter, DE Austin Bryant
Mid-7th (Rankings #225-Plus): QB Riley Ferguson, RB Jarvion Franklin, WR Michael Gallup, WR Allen Lazard, TE Jeb Blazevich, OG Larry Allen Jr., DE Jalyn Holmes, DE Justin Lawler, LB Dorian O'Daniel, LB Rashaan Evans, LB Keishawn Bierria, CB Rashard Fant
