NFL draft -- Which teams have gotten the best value since 2012? We rank all 32

No team has gotten more value out of the NFL draft over the past decade than the Seattle Seahawks — thanks to an elite 2012 class — and no team has drafted less value than the New York Jets, according to our study of the last 10 drafts.

Funny thing about the Seahawks and Jets: There were a few moments during the 2012 NFL draft where it could've gone the other way, as the Jets came oh-so-close to stealing the players that changed the course of Seahawks history.

That's the beauty — and torture — of the NFL draft. One decision can create a ripple that lasts a decade.

In the second round, the Jets were so smitten with a speedy, but raw wide receiver named Stephen Hill that they traded up a few spots and bypassed linebacker Bobby Wagner. Hill's career lasted 23 games and Wagner, picked four spots after Hill, probably will wind up in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Ditto for quarterback Russell Wilson, one of the best third-round picks in history. Personnel executive Terry Bradway implored the Jets to draft Wilson in the second or third round — he was so pro-Wilson that co-workers called him «Russell Bradway» — but the team ignored his wishes.

Wilson and Wagner became franchise pillars for the Seahawks, who won a Super Bowl and made eight playoff appearances in a 10-year period. The Jets' 2012 mistakes kicked off a run of drafting ineptitude, which probably explains why they haven't reached the postseason in 11 straight years, the league's longest active drought. But with the Nos. 4 and 10 picks in this month's draft (April 28-30, ESPN), they have a chance to make up ground.

What if the Jets had drafted Wagner or Wilson in 2012? Or both? Hindsight can be cruel when it comes to the draft. Every team has its share of «what if»
