[Pitch Profiler] For those who don’t know how much of an athlete Joe Mauer was…
Per @247Sports, Mauer was the highest ranked football recruit in Minnesota during 2001 with a score of 0.9928. Behind him in the recruiting rankings was Larry Fitzgerald (a likely first ballot football HOFer) at 0.9703.
Can anyone explain why a rebuilding team allows a more established team to use lottery protection on traded picks?
If I’m a lottery team trading with a top 10 team, why am I letting them protect the pick? Your team is getting a piece to get better. You got my player AND FAILED? That’s a “you” problem. Why do teams so commonly allow a draft pick to be top 3 or top 5 protected?
