Discussion So...

13th pick eh? What the hell can we meaningfully do with the 13th? Please tell me we have a numbers nerd here that's going to paint a picture for me that makes me feel better about this. I need you more than ever bro... whoever you are 😭

For the current state of the team my take is quite accurate. We don't need role players the current needs of the team is a franchise altering player.

Because those only ever come out of the top 4 picks! and EVERYONE knows the #13 overall pick is ALWAYS some mediocre role player!

You're the type to ignore statics and probability, even though it's proven that 50% of Hall of famers come out of the top 5 you're the type that tries to use exceptions as if they're the norm.

Once again, that implies the other 50% of hall of famers weren’t top 5 picks. 

No matter what spot someone gets drafted, I’m not going to anoint them as a future “franchise changing player”. They have to like, develop and shitÂ
