Just to add to the idea of 'there is no board', is how it drove me nuts when people would complain about Feaster / Weisbroad 'thinking they were smarter than everyone else.'
That is the point...trying to be better than the other 29 teams. You create scouting systems and evaluations that you believe will increase your odds of finding good players in the draft, then try to draft better than the other teams. It always annoyed me that some people seemed to want Feaster to do nothing other than try to be average. Whatever you think of Feaster and Weisbroad, or Burke, they had better be trying to be 'smarter' and better than the other 29 teams, because otherwise you are trying to be at best 15th.
I hope most people, in any industry, try to be the best, and better than everyone else, and not merely aim to be average. Sometimes you fail, sometimes you have setbacks, but no person or organization ever achieves excellence if they don't try to be better than average.
