Conclusion

Narratives always run amok during draft season. It’s important not to get caught up in the waves of noise, and instead information search, and come to your own conclusion. If your conclusion aligns with what most others think, and you’ve done the work? Then you don’t need to worry about conforming. If you’re going against the grain, but confident with your analysis? Then by all means, take the path less traveled.

But never take the path less traveled for the sake of it, and never conform simply for convenience. There’s enough information out there for you to make your own decision, and if you don’t have time to do that, me, Jacob, and all the other writers at Riggo’s Rag try out best to filter our opinions through our own research processes. Feel free to ask us questions about certain players, and challenge us on conclusions we might reach.
