The most valuable pick in R1 of the last 10 NFL Drafts

23: CJ Stroud 2nd HOU
22: Sauce Gardner 4th NYJ
21:  Micah Parsons 12th DAL
20: Justin Herbert 6th LAC
19: Kyler Murray 1st ARI
18: Lamar Jackson 32nd BAL
17: Patrick Mahomes 10th KC
16: Ezekiel Elliott 4th DAL
15: Jameis Winston 1st TB
14: Aaron Donald 13th LAR

Kyler and Jameis might be the only ones I challenge on this list without actually going to see who came out of those draft years.

So it is weighted by the value to the team rather than the player himself. 

For instance Oakland drafted Amari Cooper the same year TB drafted James

So while Amari is the better player. The Raiders really didn’t get much value from him based on the pick
