There’s no experience like game experience. Richardson, Ballard, and Steichen all have security for at least this year so they should create a safe learning environment and do their best.

Doltos posted:Yeah Hornery and Ornery said that last thread and I don't know where he got those numbers because the video he linked had two drops in it alone. I highly doubt Hyatt had only 3 the entire season (he also only has 1 full season of play it's not exactly a career) He did not have two drops in that video alone. But hilariously, if that almost amazing catch is what counts as a drop, then that just means he has even better hands because that counted as one of the three he had all season. You also implied Cam Smith locked Hyatt down which was also not true. You clearly did not actually scout these people. So who cares what you “highly doubt”

Black Lighter posted:I think it's more Gen X/Millenials, but there's definitely a lot more 'You didn't follow the draft algorithm so even if your selections turn out to be hall of famers your draft was a failure' sentiment floating around than there used to be'. Like, people anymore just have a hard time accepting that the draft is a total crapshoot, and all that matters is that you beat the odds and walk away with good players. The draft is mainly a crapshoot but not completely a crapshoot. That’s the point. You should apply appropriate strategies to eke out advantages that, in aggregate, will help the franchise win more over the long term.

Individual humans are hard to evaluate but positional value is easier to evaluate. So yeah it’s dumb to take rbs high and it’s dumb to take ILBs high. Interior OL are undervalued. Strategies abound. Love 2 draft.

Yeah it’s all on sliding scales and weighing probabilities of outcomes. Obviously it’s better to draft LB Luke Kuechly (real, good) in the first than to draft WR Bobby Hill (cartoon, crack shot)

YOLOsubmarine posted:I’m not really sure this is true. A single great CB is easy enough to scheme around if the rest of the defense isn’t solid. Same with a great EDGE. It’s pretty easy for offenses to exploit weak spots in a defense and the short middle ends up being a weak spot for a lot of teams because the guys they have playing there can’t diagnose or cover. Defense as a whole is a weak link system. So while I appreciate the thrust of your argument, the specifics don’t carry out. I do think you touched on one of the most important confounding variables of draft analysis though - some coaches loving suck and some are awesome. Basically any qb who goes to Reid is going to look as good as they can be. Certain OL coaches can mold any clay. Pete is decent at building up corners to their potential. So a problem with retrospective draft analysis is that the surrounding environment plays a huge factor. Like are we going to say that a prospect who struggled with a Matt Patricia team would have struggled everywhere? That’s one of the most fun parts about all this discussion imo, so much nurture vs nature

YOLOsubmarine posted:Wagner was a huge huge part of what made those LoB defenses work, along with Earl Thomas. Two positions that are currently devalued. Free safeties are criminally undervalued at the moment. Also there’s been two problems with the Seahawks defense in recent years: 1) they’ve had meh coordinators with schemes that shift every frequently 2) The front office has sucked at getting talent. At any given time over the last ~7 years there’s never been more than like 4 solid defensive starters on the team at any given time. For the later 2010s the defense was at least buoyed a bit by having a HoF Bobby Wagner. Positional relative value doesn’t really matter when most of the defensive players suck regardless of position.

Seems like one of the main pieces of information the teams have over fans are the medical results.

I always loved DK. He’s strong and powerful and runs fast. And iirc most people liked him enough that they thought end of the second was a bargain!
