It is interesting to me that people think there are football players who hold down "non premium" positions. They assume (QB excluded as it is such an outlier in terms of importance) that somehow an edge rusher, or offensive tackle, WR,etc are more important than others. Not so. Every play has 11 moving parts and one screw up ruins the play, both on offense and defense, and I'll even include the long snapper. 22 players start. If a team has some number of those players who are not effective in their job, they need to be replaced ASAP. The Jets had a woeful passing attack last year. The Jets did not have an interception last year. And so on. They need better players, its that simple. If they can draft 3 starters with first 4 picks (assuming a QB might be in the mix, and if not it's 4) thats huge. I don't care what positions they play, they are assumedly replacing players who screwed up. Just draft really good players. If they are really good in the NFL they will help the team win. Another term thrown around as if it means something..Value. Like its somehow connected to money or draft position, and provides some benefit. Not talent. It seems If you get a player who helps the team, you got value. I've been a market investor for umpteen years and have seen growth vs value stocks discussions forever. If a stock goes up you got value. If a dividend increased you got value. No one knows which stocks will give you value going forward. No one knows which players will give you value going forward. Its how they play, not what they cost or where they were picked.
