My favorite line in Moneyball is "Your goal shouldn't be to buy players, your goal should be to buy wins."
Looking at WAR and other metrics used to determine positional value as they contribute towards wins, it's very clear the most important positions in football are:
QB, CB, WR and S by A LOT. I was surprised about safety. Then there is a significant drop off in importance, followed by: RB, Edge, LB, OT, TE, DI, G, C in that order.
Go get Sneed and Blackmon (or Simmons)

Good for him.
I like the atheletic but I just realized they had Aaron brewer ranked higher than Tony pollard as a free agent.
Not even Aaron brewer ranks himself ahead of Tony pollard.

Should be able to replace Farley pretty easily at least.
If it matters, WAR is stupid in baseball too.
The only that is stupid about WAR is that you don’t understand it.
WAR is stupid in football... unpossuble to tease the individual importance without looking at film of every play... and also the metrics of WAR, time score ect, not nearly as applicable in football
In baseball though batting and pitching, and to a large degree even fielding, are individual situations and can be measured with stats accurately
but even today some things, like taking third on a single, are not measured in any way the public has access to it. I have no doubt GMs have these stats but I have never found them on the web

I get it.
it’s nerds trying to grade players in imaginary situations but by using the actual statistics from different situations.
In football that would be way worse.
Hit Gwar Bar in Richmond couple times a year. The Baconecutioner is fantastic- ground brisket and chuck! Got these killer shroom tots too. As you eat next to a severed neck hanging from the ceiling and a limb here an there on the walls…. Love that place
You can't start AJ Brown tonight..... cause he plays for Philly.............
WAR? Huh! What is it good for?
It's pretty lame we don't have a running list of all Titans FA signings on the OP @Dangermode. I'd even go as far to say it's very lame.
Farleys still around?
I think so. I also have seen the blue tent room in the off-season.
Seriously dude has been such a bust. Not his fault JRob should never have drafted him.
Most definitely should have drafted him, just not in the 1st round.
