    1. There is utility in proving the “obvious”. Rather than speaking and debating about something, you’ve quantified/visualized the results in such a way that it shows it’s a cold hard fact. No room for debate (given the analysis is reproducible). Super cool to see this

    2. Based on the stat you’re calling out, your headline should be “since 2000” or you should pick another stat, given yours is true dating back before 2010. Instead, look to comment on something that appears to be a trend. I’m not seeing any clear trends, which is a trend in its own right.

    3. The follow-up would be about ‘value’ – in other words, what is the aggregate cap space taken up by round … because there is clear value in other rounds as well, but the biggest question is – are those first rounders actually generating on a per dollar basis.

      this: “pro bowler”
      me: “professional bowler, yes, of course. with the bowling ball”

    5. Also wonder how much better, if at all, the lower round players would be with first round reps and attention
