Draft season is way too long as it is, but the week right before the draft is the worst. I feel like I'm just sitting around watching paint dry.

You to drink more and get that beer belly propped right onto that table.  

If my belly gets any bigger it'll soon have its own gravitational pull.

Sorry about high jacking the thread.

So to stay on topic I wonder if Kwesi could do the analytics on your gravitational pull goal?

Lmao. If he could I imagine it would look something like this.

Or more so like this lol. Either way I'd be super impressed.

KAM said the draft will be a “real life algorithm”. Sounds like a math problem. 

weighted factors then ? im pretty hazy on the math. So how do you adjust your algorithm as each pick comes off the board? another Algorithm? lol

I think the thing that changes is who you've already picked.  Like if you pick 2 WRs in the first 2 rounds, you probably aren't picking another WR even if your algorithm says you should.

Or if you pick no one at 12 do you pick no one at 32 and 34.  Yes I am drunk fyi

The key with analytics is not to get drunk off of the value of compensation. KAM said he had a tempting offer to trade down off the 32nd pick, but they didn't. And that's important because you can't lose sight that is about actually drafting players, not continually accumulating picks.
