Given that in the "Peters is out - GM search down to 3 candidates" post there seemed to be a lot of speculation as to how bad teams have drafted that these candidates are coming from.

I mostly assumed the same thing about the Seahawks and Patriots, but after a quick Google search to see if anyones crunched the data, I found a reliable source:

https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stat-analysis/2020/nfl-drafting-efficiency-2010-2019

They break it down pretty seamlessly for each chart. Starting off with who had the best draft capital (using the Chase Stewart draft value chart), then by draft returns (which teams have picked the best players consistently, regardless of draft position), and finally combining both to see which teams make the most out of each pick.

I recommend checking it out for yourself.

 

But for the TL;DR crowd:

Seahawks - Fitterer - 1ST in draft efficiency in the last 10 years, 10TH in the last 5

Patriots - Ossenfort - 8TH in draft efficiency the last 10 years, 15TH in the last 5

Chiefs - Poles - 7TH in draft efficiency the last 10 years, 1ST in the last 5

49ers - Peters - 23RD in draft efficiency the last 10 years, 18TH in the last 5 (just one spot above the Panthers)

 

Based on the data alone, looks like we should be going after Ryan Poles 1st, Fitterer 2nd and Ossenfort 3rd.

But who knows.

Saw Jason Lacanfora tweet at someone that you should follow the money, Fitterer has the same agent as Rhule. Take it for what it's worth. Personally I don't care who it is, I just want to see this org take a step forward.

It's not gonna be Marty.

Whatever else there may be, there's that.

Yup, seeing as Peters is "out", it's more than likely going to be Scott, Mr. Scot.

Very possible.

David Newton thinks we might hear the answer later today. Pretty much everyone thinks it'll be tomorrow at the latest, maybe tomorrow morning.

It just goes to show that what fans think is mostly based on limited, somewhat superficial information (not saying that this particular metric is the be-all-end-all).

We should respect the work of the professionals--those whose business is to know certain things, those with more access, and those in the know.

Relatively speaking...

I remember people used to say 'well, Marty Hurney is a professional GM" and he was, but relative to the other professional GMs in the NFL, he wasn't very good.

Likewise, Jimmy Clausen is certainly a better quarterback than any of us will ever be, just not good enough to play in the NFL.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
