This graph shows a direct correlation between home grown talent and winning.

Of the 17 teams above average in wins 10 of them are above average in home grown talent.

Of the 14 teams above average in home grown talent 10 of them are above average in wins.

Draft picks are so much cheaper than free agents that you pretty much have to draft well to win consistently
