Not All WR Classes Are Created Equal (2014-2017)
Not All WR Classes Are Created Equal (2014-2017)
Hi, I'm back again with an all new article where I continue to apply my Guru Score metric on recent WR classes and see how this class stacks up. Click on the link below, give it a read and discuss

Good stuff man, thanks for going back and applying your method to those past classes.
Re: Not All WR Classes Are Created Equal (2014-2017)
I appreciate the work you put into this. I think that 2014 class was far outside the mean. It made everyone value WRs far more than they should the following few seasons. This year, I find it underwhelming.

Saw a comment from an NFC executive quoted on Rotoworld today that said this season's class was one of the worst he'd seen in years... Thought that was quite interesting.
If you can't leave at least a 20% tip, you can't afford to eat out.

I've noticed the trend about a month before the draft is to just spout the opposite of what the consensus is. It gets views/clicks/whatever. And if you stumble into a correct prediction you can re-tweet yourself for the next 5 years claiming guru status.
Re: Not All WR Classes Are Created Equal (2014-2017)
Maybe that's it. Then again, I really hope that owners are starting to gradually realize that they have fallen into the same annual trap of overvaluing rookies.Dynasty DeLorean wrote: ↑Sun Apr 23, 2017 6:47 pmI've noticed the trend about a month before the draft is to just spout the opposite of what the consensus is.

They're never gonna do it but until they put their names to quotes, they don't mean much. There are so many execs and scouts on every team there's bound to be differing opinions.

I don't believe a single thing anyone says that makes headlines this close to the draft. Lots of smokeskip wrote: ↑Sun Apr 23, 2017 6:50 pmMaybe that's it.

Through this analysis are we also seeing that Mike Williams didn't even make a dent in these rankings?

Re: Not All WR Classes Are Created Equal (2014-2017)
Thanks for doing this. Great read.
One question I have is, why is there a dissonance between your analysis and what everyone is saying about the 2017 WR class? I'm not sure if that has happened in previous years. Perhaps someone else can comment on that. I've consistently heard from people here or other places that this is a very weak WR class. Do we need to re evaluate that?
