Vikings General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah comes from an analytics background in which data is a key driver of decision-making.
A way to measure how Adofo-Mensah is doing at his job, interestingly, can lead us to a broader discussion of the sorts of problems he encounters every day.
The example at hand: NFL Draft grades.
These snap judgments are extremely subjective, particularly as one-offs. What one person, even someone with knowledge, thinks of another team's draft class can be woefully inadequate. It's a sample size problem to rely on one grade.
But gather up enough grades, as Rene Bugner has done, and you at least get a more meaningful consensus of what people think.
