Tom Brady...Antonio brown...Latavius Murray...Antoine Bethea...Adalius Thomas...Matt Burke...Terrell Davis...Greg Lloyd...all say hello from the 5th round.

Dude said Terrell Davis. This isn’t 199-fuging-5 player/talent evaluations is leaps and bounds above the era of players you’re referring to.

Let’s keep trading down until we have 6 sixth round picks and 10 seventh round picks.

And then draft every draft eligible player that played at Baylor?

The number of first round busts says the talent evaluation isn’t better.  Actually it us probably worse...in the past players were evaluated on what they did on the field.  Now, more emphasis is put on the combine and how they look in shorts.

    • When they measure velocity they base it on an average of 3 throws, I think, could be 5. Each qb decides how he throws it. It's not taken from passes in a game. So basing on an "eye test" takes out bias. It's measured by a radar gun in a controlled environment. 
    • I think the long term is when this stuff pays off. You have to set it all up and get all the big dogs on the same page.  So if you have the right guy set it up, assigning all the values, you are ahead of the game and he seems to be the top guy. Figures Tepper would be attracted to having the Top analytics guy. Okay with me I guess. If they get to the point where I am mad they didn’t kick or go for it, it means they are doing okay. Cause I haven’t thought that mattered much for several years. 
    • Velocity MPH. Okay, that’s a number in isolation. what if CJ has a nice 85% effort motion that does what he is looking for? And Young has to step into things to get even 2 mph behind him?  I don’t KNOW that about either it is just an example of numbers don’t always tell all, but when I look at Young throw it reminds me of someone like Fran Tarkenton. A throwback non athletic weak armed scrambler for those of you who don’t remember. Had a great career in the old smaller slower but much meaner NFL. Would not today, IMO.  I think the arm strength questions, are plenty fair. And the eyeball test, it does mean something. Who would take Bryce Young over CJ Stroud or Richardson based on his arm? It is obvious to the naked eye where they stack up.
