Draft Analysis: Right Player, Wrong Team

Related Topics: SPARQ Training

The NFL Draft is fun. Yeah it is over-hyped. Yeah it can be annoying with the nit-picking. However, it is not the media circus and non-stop coverage, that bothers me to no end. I like the wealth of data behind this. For example, at the NFL Combine players ran drills that gave teams and evaluators a wealth of data. Some people would dismiss it for fluff, others put a lot of weight on measurables (see SPARQ and teams that routinely draft top athletic talent ex. Seahawks, Chiefs, and Packers, give the article a read!).

Last year I looked at trading draft picks, I looked at historical AV and ran a lin-log OLS model to predict values of each pick.
