“The baseball draft is very different from the NBA or the NFL.” — Paul DePodesta Quote

The baseball draft is very different from the NBA or the NFL.

Cleveland and football have always held a special place in my heart.

Analytics is not about sitting behind a computer and pushing enter and having it produce an answer.

As the West Coast offense has spread out among the NFL, as all of Bill Walsh's assistants and all of Mike Holmgren's assistants have gone on to be head coaches, it's all the West Coast offense, but it's all a little different, tailored to the personnel or the coordinators or the resources each team has.

Admittedly, there will be an awful lot for me to learn, but I want nothing more than to help bring consistent, championship caliber football back to Cleveland.

I still think that, uh, the original draft from 'The Room' was brilliant in its own way. It made me laugh, which is - which is a good thing. It got a reaction.

If you look historically at the draft at quarterbacks in the top 10, about half of them flame out very quickly.

I have always had great respect for those who served. In my time, we had the draft.

I've been a lot of places and worked with a lot of different guys. High draft picks. Low draft picks.

I feel like whatever team drafts me I'd fit into because they're going to get the best receiver in the draft. Regardless of if they really need a receiver early or not, the way I'm going to come in and work, they're going to get the guy they hoped they drafted and be excited about it.
