I sure hope they're right. But it's also worth noting that our head analytics guy is the former head analytics guy at PFF so our moves are always going to have a high chance of being viewed well by PFF. We're probably using a lot of the same metrics.

How new is he? Did they have him during last year's draft?

Gotcha. He may have just earned himself a bonus/raise/promotion. 

I'm not for overly relying on number crunching and bean counting but we have been undeniably drafting horribly for years now so I'm not going to complain about trying a new approach that's for sure.

That's how the Eagles draft too.  They brought in an analytics guy like that too.

But you can't say that the player isn't at the top of their boards

Well, as far as I know, teams don't publish that information, nor should they. We can only draw conclusions based on the knowledge and opinions of others. It's just the nature of the beast. For example, if Tennessee has drafted Jaxon Dart at number one, we'd all have been like WTF?

Sure, but if they drafted him #1 he would be BPA on their board.

We'll see how it all plays out on the field but this draft just feels smarter / better than the past few.

Ah ha, would he have been? I would say we gave them a pass on the reach even with Cam Ward because he was a QB. There were likely a handful of players whom most NFL types were generational type players during the pre draft process, and Ward wasn't one of them.  That being said, we give teams a reach pass in the first round for QBs because franchise QBs are so hard to find, but also central to a team's success. But, take the Falcons, I'm pretty sure that most will say that they reached for James Pearce by giving up way too much value to jump up and get him.

The whole BPA thing just doesn't make sense because every team always takes the best player according to them

      Panthers give Ashawn Robinson permission to seek trade

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      Damn I liked A'Shawn too. This is basically a heads up we're planning on cutting you move.  Robinson wasn't the best but I loved his attitude and effort on the field. He held that entire dline together when Brown went down iirc..granted we finished that season as the worst rushing defense in modern NFL history.  If Wharton would have performed up to atleast half of his salary last season, I'd feel a little better about it. We do need that cap space though.

      13. Carolina is coming. The Panthers are well thought of around the league. Their "process" seems sound. I think their off-season will be very interesting to keep an eye on. They made the playoffs, but they're not yet knocking on the door. (Offense was 26th in EPA/play.) I think it's imperative they don't overestimate where they are in their build. They can't throw a ton of money around in FA to "make a run now". They need to be intentional about building a solid foundation. (IMO) And from what I know about the team... I think they will be. Sidenote: I have my eye on offense there, not defense. They HAVE to leave next season with a strong opinion on Bryce Young. They need to put pieces around him to do that. Can't be left wondering what he would have looked like with "better OL play" or "more pass catchers". They have to know. (That part is purely my opinion. No one told me that.) https://x.com/lindsay_rhodes/status/2027212533417869499?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

      Because this DL is completely reliant on Brown being available and being a stud. Without him we were the worst D in history. The Wharton signing last year reeked of desperation. He just isn't a great fit for us schematically and I think we panicked a little bit when we missed out on Milton Williams who would have been a great fit.
