- The story behind his ubiquitous NFL draft trade value calculator
- How to use Approximate Value to access every player, even offensive linemen and defensive backs
- The reason an NFL GM might use the Jimmy Johnson draft value chart instead of his analytics based chart
- The surprising admission of the Patriots on why they traded for Brandin Cooks
- Why Chase writes every day at his site Football Perspective
After the interview, I talk about 3 highlights of my wisdom of crowds model for predicting the 2017 NFL Draft.
