I built a data-driven historical comp finder for the Jets and Giants first round picks this year.
For each prospect: the 5 most similar first round picks in NFL history, and what those players actually became.
Here’s what the data says (thread)
How it works: each prospect matched to historical first round picks within 10 draft slots using weighted similarity across pick, weight, height, 40 time, and vertical.
Outcomes graded relative to position peers.
Data from nflverse. Run in Python.
@NDS1089 wait corners are supposed to get to the quarterback? I thought they were supposed to cover wide receivers and serve as outside contain on runs. Nick, please tell me what else everyone has wrong about football!
Now after 45 minutes of no updates we are being told to take a train to Newark Penn and then uber to the airport. Why weren’t we told this 45 minutes ago? Will we be compensated for our air tram ticket and uber ride? Many people will miss flights.
@EWRairport it would be nice if their air tram actually ran, or if there was street access after exiting NJ transit to allow us to actually get to the terminals.
