I can see the value in such software in spitting out comparisons between prospects and veteran players when you control for age and based on objective data like physical traits and comparative strength / weaknesses of teams...
.. but I don't see how throwing in subjective measures to the program helps anything. That should just be taken into consideration when looking at the numbers.

Maybe they should add injury history to the data they use.

It's an interesting concept.
Honestly, we should just accept this: John Dorsey is a Combine measurables guy. He places performances there above just about anything else. |

Fulton had the slowest 20 shuttle time of any combine participant in 2014 and Dorsey drafted him. Tardiff didn't even go to the combine. As well, he passed on Donte Moncrief for Phil Gaines, despite Moncrief having one of, if not the best, Combine performances of 2014. There is a lot of "I just don't get it" picks the past couple of years and it goes beyond Combine results. Way beyond, IMO. I'm really thinking that he's put all his eggs into this Decision Lens basket in terms of developing a player draft list hoping that every year turns out to be a Clay Matthews year. I really hope that that's not the case as I don't see the guarantees in success or failure with humans that can be achieved with business modelling that the Decision Lens is typically utilized for. |

As for the Decision Lens, knowing he uses it really doesn't tell us anything. Without knowing what he enters in as the most important attributes or how he ranks the categories it's pretty much useless to us. |

You end up as the Detroit Lions. Receiver, receiver, receiver, receiver... There should be some level of Need considered as well. Ford, because you have Hali and Houston, was a waste. Same with the Murray pick. Same with Thomas. Unless you are absolutely sure you are sending one of these guys into free agency after the 2014 season these were absolutely redundant picks that netted the Chiefs close to zero for the 2014 season. So, now, the Chiefs still have the same gaping holes at OL and WR and S that they had to start the 2014 off-season because Dorsey decides to stick to BPA no questions asked and ends up with a bunch of backups, special teamers or IR qualifiers at positions that were some of the deepest on the team (OLB, QB, RB). To me, it was a complete waste of a draft simply because Dorsey stuck to whatever information was given to him by his scouts and the Decision Lens system versus attempting to get the best player available as it related to team need. |
