@dannyfunt @pablofindsout A feature (not a bug) of The Sporting Class 🍿
@Mannixlaw @CassSunstein If you could measure everything at every moment, you can predict the outcome. But since these measurements are merely proxies and not possible to accurately measure (like the Heisenberg principle), the information is not enough to predict the ultimate outcome (i.e. random walks).
Given that the quality of a draft class is volatile year-to-year (i.e. some classes are strong than others), wouldn’t it be appropriate to use a post-model ranking algorithm to estimate draft slot within a given year? In other words, if the highest predicted pick for a WR across the full population ~ pick No. 17, but there are considerably more actual top 10 picks, then don’t you need to take the outputs within a given year and re-rank to truly estimate pick number?

@benj_robinson @jaredlander Unfortunately, they did not keep using it after 2015. Jared/Lander Analytics retained the rights to the code, while I was off to UChicago for grad school to learn how to do what he did myself.
