It's a read on a player in a situation where other teams don't have the same read.

If say Boston comes back the next ten drafts they may not have that opportunity again ... where they have a book on a player that was different than other teams.

But luck for sure. Calgary "won" the 2024 draft, but that took a lot of teams passing on players that fell to them, but also a read on said players to take them when other teams didn't.
You never really know until the players are actually put into the pro environment. Before that happens it’s a lot of educated speculating.
