V.P.I.
	Value per Pick Index
	The Value per Pick Index (V.P.I.) was developed in 1998 to measure how effectively each individual draft pick
	was used.  Each selection is evaluated based on pick number, talent available, positional depth, three year
	statistical averages, 2005 projections, and the trend analysis of the previous five N.J.R.B.L. drafts.  The V.P.I.
	does not factor in the quantity of picks a team has or the team needs.  It is assumed that a team would move
	down in the draft to select appropriate value while meeting team needs.  A perfect score on the V.P.I. Is 1.0.
