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?

No, because some team's reach out of desperation, especially for a QB. That's fairly well known.

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

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.

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

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      That's fair, but I've also never said you can't enjoy a win, there is a big difference between enjoying a win and sticking your head in the sand about our issues, which is what so many who are "just enjoying the win because of how bad we've been lately" are doing. You can enjoy a win while also seeing the realities, and if you're a fan who can just enjoy those wins, more power to you.  But I'd prefer to see improvement over bad wins, and sure, I'd rather see wins and improvement in the same game, but if that's not an option, give me improvement in a loss over frustration in a win. I genuinely don't understand why that's a controversial take, as I'm literally rooting for the thing that will help us contend faster, even if that won't be very fast.

      Yeah. Pretty obvious there. One thing I saw less of than normal (my perception) is the behind the LOS attempts.

      The irony here is interesting You say the change won't happen overnight, so you're good with enjoying the wins despite not showing actual improvement. You're right, it's not going to change overnight, which is why so many of us are rooting for seeing improvement right now over bad wins right now, because you have to start somewhere if you ever hope to improve. Winning ugly doesn't help us in the future, but showing improvement would
