What makes a great draft?

It starts with great players, or course. And players must be plural: Selecting a Hall of Famer is a great pick, but a great draft brings in several starters, a Pro Bowler or two and maybe some useful reserves. A great draft doesn't have to lead to a Super Bowl in a few years, but that sure helps.
