Trajectory is important to consider. A player that is constantly ranking in the middle of the pack for a full year isn't really making a better case than a player that was originally ranked nowhere and then constantly improved. You have to consider where each player will be in a couple of years if they maintain that, and from what they are saying about Jankowski, he is headed in the right direction.

Presumably though, trajectory is already priced into the rankings. A stock that is expected to go higher will trade higher by virtue of that fact alone.
