I love this time of year, evaluating the merits and deficiencies of draft candidates. It occurred to me that while Jeff Ireland quantifies a top 200 players on his board, he probably doesn't have an ongoing mathematician evaluating risk to the board. Some players are clearly higher risk than others and presumably Jeff is mentally taking this into account, but maybe this represents where the draft process could go. For example, some major companies establish the level of risk that they are prepared to accommodate and manage to those parameters.
Some positions eg QB are high to very high risk in drafting a good one compared with say drafting a safety (Reshad Jones and Chris Clemons were both 5th round draft picks).
Welcome your thoughts.
