I'm not sure where this goes but it goes somewhere.  I'm also not sure what it tell us.  Brad Radke was drafted in the 8th round of the 1991 draft.  4 players drafted in the 8th round in 1991 amassed more than 25 career WAR (Radke, Derek Lowe, Jason Schmidt and Steve Trachsel).  Only four players total in rounds 1-7 reached the 25 WAR total in their careers (and that's only if you count Nomar, who didn't sign and was redrafted in 1994).
