draft class

Year's new picks

A draft class is the group of players eligible for selection in a particular year's professional sports draft.

The term appears most often in American football and basketball: The 2024 draft class is considered weak at quarterback.

Analysts evaluate draft classes both prospectively and retrospectively, comparing talent pools across years.
