I've been watching the Three Sigma Athlete SPARQ Rankings for several years now. It's uncanny how many of TT's free agent and draft picks in the past have had high SPARQ Rankings.
"SPARQ is a formula developed by Nike which measures player athleticism by outputting a single composite score." The player's athleticism is then compared to the athleticism of players currently in the NFL. Some teams put a lot of stock in SPARQ Rankings, some don't. TT seems to.
So, what I did was use the CBS Big Board at Fanspeak On The Clock Mock Draft Simulator and did a mock draft for the PACKERS trying to select players in each round who had the highest SPARQ Rankings for their position.
It will be interesting if any of these players (or other players with high SPARQ Rankings) wind up being chosen by TT this year.
