One of the sure ways to thwart the development of an NFL football team is to fall into what I would call “The Insane Draft Trap.”
As we know Albert Einstein defined insanity as “doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”
The Insane Draft Trap is more apt to occur for teams that repeatedly change head coaches. With such changes, the offensive and defensive systems change, which often means that one coach’s set of player personnel prototypes are different than his predecessor’s.
This is why we often hear the term “overhauling the roster” when a new head coach is hired.
