Reporters suck at math.
No wonder they could not understand the ideal gas law never mind apply it to footballs.
So Bedard might be saying Rich Hill's non-consensus chart doesn't like that trade. But trades were clearly being done between teams with the Jimmy Johnson consensus chart, so it represents "market value" and Rich Hill's doesn't -- which doesn't mean it's wrong, just that it wasn't used for trades
Laughable seeing him essentially make the claim that the 37th overall pick this year should be making an instant impact like a top 10 pick. Also him seemingly not understanding the notion of drafting towards the future, and not necessarily drafting for instant impact right out of the gate. Would think a guy covering this team for so long would grasp that.
Reporters suck at math.
To be fair to reporters most people have little personal experience in determining percentages of deflated air loss.
On the other hand the so called reporter should have an editor who job it is make sure the numbers are correct.
Always want guys to contribute sooner than later of course, but it’s a case by case. Not every pick is the same, and not every trajectory is the same. The thing with Bedard’s take was that he suggested that Dugger should be an instant impact guy, and anything less is a fail when looking at the first pick of a team’s draft.2019 32 32 N'Keal Harry WR Arizona State

history says that's a lot more about the pick than the theoretical role.
He is worth reading when he is talking X’s and O’s. The other stuff, not so much,And people pay a fee to read his drivel?
Then I should get paid lots because I’m full of drivel

We don’t know how Dugger will do, and neither does Bedard. But whether he’s willing to believe it or not, a pick can still be a good pick if their year 2, 3, 4 etc is a win, even if the year 1 is minimal/considered a redshirt.
Talking about overpaying in the Keene trade (which we did):
Somehow he's claiming two #4s + a future #6 = the 28th pick of the draft.
This is so messed up. It's like buying a $30K car, saying it cost $40K because of interest on the loan so the total cost was $70K.
WTF. That is how you tur two #4s and a future #6 into 1.28.
I started to read the article this morning and quit after the first two paragraphs. It was clearly an attempt to get some more readership by jumping on the "Pats' draft sucked" bandwagon. It is the most disappointing article ever in BSJ as far as I'm concerned. They, and he, started out with much better stuff. This article is WEEI worthy.
The bad math is just the tip of the iceberg. And to do it so poorly; was he drunk?
