Opportunity cost is the basic premise behind “there is no such thing as a free lunch.” Even if the meal doesn’t cost you any money, it does cost you the opportunity to eat the next best option. I previously mentioned in the draft preview the opportunity cost of taking a QB in this year’s draft would be passing on a blue chip defensive player and taking the Bears out of the 2018 QB market. What I didn’t foresee was the additional draft capital it cost and the picks missed out on in this draft and next year.
