With draft season in full swing, it is important to utilize a quantitative analysis to determine the best practices for success. I understand that data can’t qualify every aspect of a player’s game, but even as one who vehemently disagrees with today’s overemphasis on analytics, I believe there is a place for it, particularly when it comes to high-level decision-making.
For time purposes, I will be dividing this analysis into three parts: the best approach, player and positional trends according to pick value, and projections as well as how the Chicago Bears can use this analysis for success.
