That is really interesting data. I suspect that if you did this over the past 30 years there would be some correlation between team draft points and success but I am guessing with the amount of work that clubs put into the draft nowadays, that correlation is going to be much more pronounced in the next 30 years.

It would be good to try and overlay an average age line. If the common wisdom is that players peak between 24 and 28 (?), theoretically a team with high draft value and an average age of 26 would be right in the premiership window. I think this data will get stronger in years to come.
