Guest column by Jeremy Rosen and Alexandre Olbrecht
(Ed. Note: We're presenting this guest column as an alternative to our usual QBASE quarterback projections. Our hope for next year is to work on combining the two models, adding a variable for functional mobility into the QBASE model. But for now, we hope you enjoy debating two different models that come out with two different favored No. 1 quarterback prospects for 2018.)
We have developed a model that since 2015 has outperformed NFL teams at drafting quarterbacks. Our model is timely because in 2018, drafting quarterbacks well is more important than ever.
