Some good thoughts in this thread. I'll comment on this one:
2. Again, I will state that a consensus projection which averages the projections of several experts yields a statistically much more reliable result. It's been proven/demonstrated many times with academic studies. With all of the excellent staffers at your disposal, you could also divide the labor. Have 3-4 guys focus on QB's and TE's. A different group could focus on RB's, while a third group could handle WR's. You could let a rookie or two address Kickers and Defenses, as well. Then, MAKE these CONSENSUS Projections available for use in the VBD App and Draft Dominator.
Regarding the division of labor point, I don't think that would work very well. I can't really do Peyton Manning projections without also doing Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker, and Willis McGahee projections. And vice versa. So I don't know that it would be efficient for one person to do QBs and another person to do WRs.Even dividing by teams I wouldn't be completely comfortable with. What if I have the AFC and Jason has the NFC, and I tend to underestimate overall production while he overestimates it? League-wide, the numbers will look right — but all the NFC guys will be ranked a bit too high and all the AFC guys will be ranked a bit too low.
If I'm doing the whole NFL and I'm slightly underestimating overall production, I'll catch my error a lot more quickly than if I'm doing only a subsection of it.
I think having each projector do the entire NFL works pretty well. We might be able to add to the total number of projectors in future years — I'm not sure. But if so, I'd still recommend that each person do the entire league instead of dividing things up.
