Quote:Agreed to a point.

 

Having superior draft position does not absolve a team of its duty to evaluate properly.

 

But even if you have scouted and evaluated properly, inferior draft position puts you at the mercy of those with better draft position.

 

You are dependent upon other teams ahead of you to get it wrong.

 

If you have inferior draft position, even if you get it right, if those above you get the evaluation right, they will pick better players than you.

 

If you have inferior draft position, the chances of misevaluation increase.
