NFL GMs Lose to Auto-Draft Every Single Time... Here’s How Your Team Could Fix It

About this episode

The episode discusses NFL draft strategies and how general managers can improve their teams by adopting a more analytical approach.

What type of GM would you be if you ran the Green Bay Packers?J.J. Lahey and Kristoph Scott dive deep into NFL roster building, draft strategy, analytics, and the hard truth about how general managers hurt their own teams by moving around the draft board, trading up, and reaching for specific players.Kris brings new analytics showing how an auto-draft approach can beat all 32 NFL general managers, and why the smartest draft strategy is usually not chasing your favorite guy. Instead, the better process is often trading down, collecting more mid-round picks, and building a deeper roster.For the Packers, that means thinking less about a few impressive “trees” and more about building a full “forest” of talent. How should Brian Gutekunst approach the NFL Draft? Should Green Bay trade down more often? Are Packers fans too focused on splash moves and perfect roster construction?This episode is all about how we would run the Packers, why depth matters, why draft capital is king, and why the illusion of the perfect NFL roster leads teams into bad decisions.Subscribe for more Green Bay Packers news, NFL Draft analysis, roster-building discussion, and Packers: DERAILED clips.#Packers…
