Comments on: Why Aren’t Teams Better At Drafting Now? http://www.footballperspective.com/why-arent-teams-better-at-drafting-now/ NFL History and Stats Mon, 11 Aug 2014 23:24:17 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Steve http://www.footballperspective.com/why-arent-teams-better-at-drafting-now/#comment-150214 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 23:24:17 +0000 http://www.footballperspective.com/?p=19294#comment-150214 Chase,

Kevin Meers used your CAV to make a new draft chart over at Harvard Sports Analytics as I’m sure you know. He added a second article using values from that chart to point to over and under achievers. In that second article, he makes mention of how the GB Packers had four of the ten highest over achievers. They were drafted in 1996 through 2000 with only the 97 draft not producing a boomer.
Then in 2001, although not mentioned by Kevin, there is a top ten bust.

Is it any surprise to see ownership moved the coach in to the added position of GM?

At least since the 90s, when scouting/drafting theory really started to heat up.

Speaking of the chart, I still don’t quite get what you did. I understand you calculating a players value from a draft year, but then what are you doing with that number and your draft pick calculator values? And how is that giving you a fraction that is about .5? Seriously dude, add some graph axis titles in your posts. Thanks.
