That's true, and it would have to be just one part of the draft evaluation for that reason. You would also have to factor in more time for known projects.
But I think we all know what I am describing: GMs who stick with picks because they made them and are hoping against hope that they show...
Cleveland and Columbus? I don’t think I’ve ever been to Cincy. Frankly it’s mainly been driving through on my way to Pittsburgh, Ann Arbor or somewhere else.
I haven't spent much time in Ohio, so maybe I am wrong, but my impression is that it is one of the flattest, plainest, most boring states in America. It's up there with Kansas.
Most Ohio way to lose a Super Bowl ring ever?
It occurred at the recent Great “Lombaby Games,” a live show hosted by the brothers which sees teams compete in ridiculous games. One challenge saw participants wade through pools of Skyline chili, searching for replica Super Bowl rings tied to...
That's true, but if teams were honest they could weed out players after an initial training camp and not keep guys they drafted who didn't look good, just because they had been draft picks.
Right now, a lot of teams draft guys in, say, the third round who are outplayed in training camp, but...
I just explained this by text to a non-basketball-watching friend--a Browns fan--like this:
"Dude, I may be too depressed to come to work tomorrow, my team is abolutely Brownsing in this play-in"
Mentally weak is what I was thinking. There is something off with the way this organization evaluates talent. Look at the Heat for an easy comparison. The Heat have a formula and they find players that do what Spo wants.
I mean the halfcourt passing is terrible right now. It's not decisive and that's allowing Miami to jump shit for fairly easy turnovers.
They need to go to the damn rim a lot more also.
The Herro play was not dirty, it's just a guy trying to play defense who doesn't really know what's up. Someone told him he needed to play defense in the playoffs, and it's like the first time he ever thought about it.
It's a good article, I am a subcriber. The TLDR version is this:
1) Teams overvalue their ability to pick players better than other people, and thus overvalue higher picks because they downplay how many flop.
2) Trading down and acquiring more picks is a better strategy, data show, but few...
Thing is, they could have kept him for this season. He was still in the final year of his deal and they would have gotten comp picks letting him become a FA. They chose to trade him for less than those comp picks. Something was clearly up.
I’d love to hear Jarntt explain how the alternatives to managing the cap, such as the pay as you go approach Dallas has taken, have worked better.
But as you can see he’s not going near that since his team appears cap strapped despite not signing anybody!
