Vox.com: How NFL teams ignore basic economics and draft players irrationally.

[JWsleep]

Sure, more picks gives you a better shot at getting good players. But let's not forget how bad our FO has been over the years even when they did have picks. Remember Vinnie's 3 second round picks, all busts--Fred may still play somewhere, but the other two were just awful. My feeling is we've neglected scouting for a long time. It's an institutional failing. We just don't seem to care that much about it or we think it's pretty easy to do. Maybe that's beginning to change with Allen, but we'll see. (Fingers crossed!)
