This is interesting although misleading in places, mostly due to SSS. For example, the numbers of draft picks let go (Page 7 - I presume they mean over the past 4 years - the Carroll years), only 3 teams have let go more than 15 and a half-dozen or so are in the single digits. I mean, there is some interesting data in there to look at and they do make some good points, but there's not a huge data sample to be worked with.
I've never seen a team create a Powerpoint presentation to try and get UDFAs to come in. It makes a lot of sense for Seattle's general roster strategy. I wonder if other teams have already done something like this and we've just never heard of it before?

Oh, and the comments responding to the tweet are priceless, particularly those of Johnny Beach, who has some serious analytical deficiencies.
