My favorite part about this thread is the amount of replies essentially saying, "Your math is right, but I have feelings."

His math is right but incomplete.  Scoring anyone below probowl as a 0 for example, that would score DJ Moore as a 0 as well btw.  Also you have to include a weight for salary.

From the article

"But the reality is that most draft picks don’t work out. Whether they’re busts, didn’t live up to their draft position, had injury or off-field issues, didn’t do much to move the dial, or never played much, most draft picks turn out to be some level of disappointment, or don’t make much of a difference in the team’s success."

that is a seriously seriously flawed study, it takes all of the draft picks rounds 1-7 into account in the data and doesnt give round credence at all

"In Jon Gruden's first year back in power in Oakland, the Raiders traded Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper for picks that landed in the 20s. Oakland began by taking Clemson defensive end Clelin Ferrell   at No. 4 overall, which surprised given Ferrell's mid-Round 1 grades. The first leg of the Mack haul turned into Josh Jacobs at No. 24. Jacobs' 1,150 rushing yards (in 13 games) set a Raider rookie record. The Cooper trade brought safety Johnathan Abram at No. 27. Abram starred on "Hard Knocks" but missed 15 games as a rookie. He remains a key part of the franchise's future in Las Vegas."

 

So this is close to what you guys want to do.  Trade Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper for Clelin Ferrell, Josh Jacobs, and Johnatan Abram.  

But tell me again about how valuable those picks are over established players.

Yeah and imagine if someone did the same analysis but set the bar at "All-Pro" instead of "Pro Bowl" and everyone below "All-Pro" was rated 0.  Then Brian Burns and DJ Moore are both 0s whereas you would have a >0% chance of drafting an All-Pro in the 1st round which would lead to a completely different conclusion.  That's why the methodology is flawed when you're setting your own arbitrary binary standards like "Pro Bowl" or "Pro Bowl caliber" = 1, everything else = 0.

So you're saying we should keep a 3-4 LB because you are afraid you can't do better?

Ridiculous.  This team needs 2 true DE's and a true backup.  Enough of the hybrid bullshit with undersized 3-4 outside LBs.

That's a lame excuse to overpay a player that doesn't fit anywhere just because you are concerned you can't get a better player.

there is no true way to accurately grade these types of things, its almost completely arbitrary with a lot of moving parts and factors.

it cuts both ways, and again you are way overvaluing Brian Burns

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
