I do feel like there is some positional bias to this scoring. I don't think it is as effective at gauging IDL/OL players versus QB's, WR's, etc.

I like the PFR AV overall, though. They did retire the old CarAV and replace it with wAV.

First reaction was suspicion of that being the case. Whatever, we are getting ready to see what is what soon enough.

Yeah we have waited a long time. 

I'm still waiting until week 3 before I look too closely at things. Early season fog over the league in general, no film of the offense really, we might be able to do a little better early. 

(which is just about the same thing I said last year, and what a disaster it turned out to be. Who even needed film?).

Aside from McCaffrey Hurney’s picks are the best…

Yup. All GMs miss, but Hurney was a pretty good one aside from contract mgt. never thought I’d say that. To me, SS89 in the third will forever be the most important pick in franchise history. The number of games won due directly to the influence of that 1 man will never be equaled by this team again.

Hurney was mainly a 1st round specialist. His 2nd through 7th was pretty rough historically.

He still hit on some guys in those rounds too....

Guys like Ryan Kalil, Josh Norman, Greg Hardy...

1000x better than whatever the fug UnFitterer was doing....

He was a specialist at drafting all busts...

This team has been totally stripped of talent since he left.  We all loved to bash Hurney and fox and Rivera but damn if I'm not sorry about it.  It can always get worse.  Hopefully we finally start to turn the ship around this year.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By strato · Posted

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
