Packernet After Dark: Draft Philosophy

In this episode, I take a deep dive into the recent debate comparing Jordan Love and Brock Purdy, providing an objective analysis using advanced stats and metrics to determine who had the better 2023 season. I also examine some flawed attempts by NFL media and analysts to evaluate the 2024 NFL Draft using data, exposing issues with their methodologies and conclusions, such as a recent model that dubiously ranked the Bears as having the best draft and the Packers as the worst. Additionally, I break down the rookie contracts signed by the Packers' draft class and what their salary cap impacts will be. Listen as I try to bring some logic and common sense to these discussions. This captures the key topics you covered in a concise way while highlighting your objective, analytical approach to these NFL debates and discussions.
