. Because teams feel they can get good enough production at that position for a much lower cost. .

They feel this based on a lot of analytics...not saying 100% of it, but a good deal of it, the vast majority of it.
So, if something is false and that falsehood is reason behind the undervaluation then the teams
are replying on the wrong thing.

I get that you don't agree and that's fine. I am not going to find a lot of people who agree with me on this
but if junk science is causing a change in, say, governmental spending, then that junk science needs to
be called out.

I am simply calling out the junk science. I think it is disingenuous---I think teams know better but have
something on paper that they can use as leverage. They are not talking to coaches or scouts as much
as they are to analytics ...

analytics are not 100% wrong---not saying that but also they are not 100% right either.

As said, any system that values Renfro over all-pro RB is skewed wrongly.

But, hey, agree to disagree. I get where people are coming from.

  I might be behind the times but I am still in favor of picking a RB in the first round of the draft
