Ah, I see what you’re saying. Yeah, the 1st Team All Pro bonus is so huge for defensive players that it is a huge factor in the AV.

I did a quick calculation, and it looks like the 1AP was worth 11 of Watt’s 21 AV. (If Watt didn’t get any All Pro honors at all, and everything else stayed the same, his AV would have been 10.)

When I was first comparing AV to Snaps, I thought there might be some circular entanglement issues.

I could see it affecting both – if teams expect a 3rd RB to play more than a 7th OL, they might value that higher and draft it higher. I guess you can argue that the 1st RB isn’t going to play as much as the starting C and should be valued less. Right now, there seems to be a significant spread in how teams value RBs. Other than Elliott, Derrick Henry was the only RB drafted in the first 72 picks this year.
