KAM talks analytics
Pretty interesting conversation with KAM about how his background in data/analytics informs his decision making. This is a REALLY smart guy.

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.
