    This is the formula for determining how big a bust a draft pick is

    BV = (dv -tv) * (pv) * (TC+1) * (1/(1+GS)) *(1/(1+PB))



    BV = Bust Value - This value addresses how big of a bust a particular draft pick is.

    dv = draft value - based on the point system used for draft pick trades ... basically its the total points used by a team to get a player (so if you traded up, look at the value of what was given up to get that player, otherwise, just look at the spot the player was drafted)

    tv = trade value - based on what the original team was able to recoup in the instance they were able to trade that player (again using the draft pick trade point system) ... if no trade, then trade value =1. This does fail to account for trades involving players.

    PV - Position value - based on perceived importance of the position for that player ... basically the more important the position, the bigger the bust

    position value (pv) breakdown

    QB = 11
    LT = 10
    OLB/DE = 10
    DT= 9
    RB = 9
    CB = 8
    WR =8
    RT = 8
    S = 7
    G = 7
    MLB = 7
    C = 6
    TE = 6
    KR/PR = 5
    FB = 4
    K = 3
    P = 2
    LS = 1
    SPT = 1

    TC = Times Cut - This is just the number of times a player has been cut ... we add 1 so that if a player was never cut, it won't multiply the entire eq by zero (instead it would just multiply by 1, meaning no penalty for not getting cut)

    GS =Games Started - this is just the number of games that a player started. This term is intended to benefit players who start, so it is inversely proportional to BV, meaning that the more years you start, the lower your bust value ... also we add 1 to this value so that we never divide by zero (which would force the BV to go to infinity lol).

    PB = probowls - just the number of probowls a player has been elected to (similar to the GS term)

    I think you can argue that if Shanahan hadn't let RG3 play injured his career would be completely different. I totally blame Mike Shanahan and I'm surprised that no one is saying anything about how he made RG3 play injured.

    its a chance at a super bowl! More than likely our next three first founders are gonna suck. I'd trade that for a guaranteed shot at a super bowl and a winning season.

    Why would you say that?

    Our last three, excluding Mariota because we don't know, haven't sucked. In fact, they are three of the best players on our team.
