You can develop a scoring system that takes into account:
- Roster Need (Go 80 deep by position and depth)
- Positional value (ranking against others of the same position and type)
- Measurables (combine stats, height/weight, hand size)
- Talent (body of work, performance, stats, accomplishments)
- Risk (injury, off the field)
- Intelligence (football IQ, general IQ)
- Intangibles (leadership, personality, work ethic)
Grade each prospect. Grade each FA. Update your grades regularly. Compare with those you trust. Combine grades......
AND BOOM.
You have a formula to determine the "Best Player Available."

Better yet, you can weight each of those categories as necessary for each position, etc. to further refine the model. For example, you may not care about a CB or RB's football IQ. Because clearly it doesn't matter.
