When you’re a writer creating content for the Buffalo Bills, it can be tough to craft meaningful content for draft season when you don’t watch college football. So seven years ago I landed on the idea to tap into my behavioral science background and run analytics on pre-draft time/energy committed by the front office to make predictions. While it’s been fun, in the past I’ve expressed skepticism that I’d ever hone in on the exact player at the top of the board.
Then Keon Coleman happened. Rather than take my victory lap and be done with it, I felt this was a good opportunity to look back at my entire history with the premise and see how I’ve done.
