It may be only an estimate, instead of solid numbers, but the <i>theme</i> is 100% correct.
Some GM's think you win by collecting a lot of decent to above-average players.
However, history has proven that teams win more with a true superstar or two, surrounded by replacement-calibre players. In other words, one Joe Mauer/Roy Halladay type is worth more than 3 or 4 pretty good players who make the same (combined) amount of money.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
That doesn't mean he isn't speaking gobbledygook. I hate how he is so regimented and stalwart in his canon of statistics, yet because of his status allows himself leeway in making guesses about shit and predicitions, and essentially doing the opposite of what statistics do, ie he is a hypocrite.

If Angelo had picked McClellin, I would have been expecting to hear by training camp that kid has stage 4 cancer, is actually 5'2" 142 lbs, is a chick who played in a 7 - 0 defensive scheme who only rotated in on downs which were 3 and 34 yds + so is not expecting to play a down in the NFL until the sex change is complete and she puts on another 100 lbs. + but this is Emery's first pick so he'll get a pass with a bit of questioning. - 1060Ivy
