Levitate posted:Rangers really wanted Petterson with that pick (or Glass if Petterson was gone) but ended up with Andersson Benning almost traded down to 6 that year because Vegas thought he wanted Glass but managed to blow it by openly pointing at Pettersson in the stands and McPhee immediately nixed the trade.

Prospects are so underdeveloped at 18 that any sort of quantitative assessment of their skillset is essentially soothsaying. Focusing on statlines and statistical similarity to assign a rough percentage of success has some merit but that makes for far less interesting reading so "what he lacks in motor he makes up for with crisp passes and a sixth sense for evading checks" is what we get. Assigning draft grades 18 hours later is mostly silly exercise, especially for Pronman who just makes up an arbitrary scoring system based on his (decidedly limited) viewings of each player and then ranks teams against it.

If there's one thing in sports that decidedly overrated it's in person scouting. Teams could save a boat load by during firing the guys they have all over the world and just letting the stats guys run prospects through their programs. The success rate is at worst a wash but likely far higher.
