Does Pick Placement Guarantee a Better Player in the First Round?

I looked at the first 30 picks of every draft from 1965 to 2006 to see if there was a trend in WAR.

A couple of things I learned:

There is a trend; typically WAR decreases with each pick.

It was interesting to see 1 player drafted #1 overall twice only to have a negative WAR.

Mike Schmidt was the best #30 pick.

Kevin Brown has a higher WAR than Dave Winfield
