17 UDFAs seems a lot on face value, but I would expect it to be a function of the number of draft picks and amount of cap space and need to be considered in the context of at least the previous 2 or 3 off-seasons. Fyi - I've only done a quick manual count based on the current Ourlads depth charts - but the number of UDFAs this season ranges from the Cards and only 3 to the Ravens and Chargers at 21. The median is 13, and mode is 15, with the data is skewed right. Teams with the most UDFAs 21 - Ravens, Chargers 19 - Seattle, Jets 18 - Bucs 17 - Chiefs, Raiders 16 - Vikes, Panthers, Saints NFC North are Vikes - 16, Lions - 15, Bears - 14, Packers -8 So, the Vikes with 16 (currently after LB Manuel was cut) are only slightly above the median and in pretty good company.
Analytics is a very broad term. Conventional data streams for football players is one dimension. Consider his background in stocks. Then look at the Lions last draft. You buy when a perceived value stock is low. Thre Lions selected high value players, when no one was drafting these positions, thus they raked. I think Kwesi is deploying multiple forms of analytics. Another example may well be the conversion to a counter blocking scheme over pure zone scheme. The ability to spend less on blockers and increase proficiency simulaneously is win win. Productivity and quality do not need to be an inverse relationship. The best GM's know this.
I'd favour Andre Carter over Murphy, because he was always expected to be a 2 or 3 year investment. My favourite UDFA prospect is McGlothern who could really push for a spot and add some much needed length to that CB room with Khyree Jackson. Jeremy Flax is also really intriguing as a guard with a point of difference at 343lbs. Jeshaun Jones reminds me a little of Addison, and could be handy.
try anything.....find that one guy out there like Thielen, Randle, and Pace. If Bo can play inside LB he would have a future that guy is a stud fast and strong.
Maybe you can help me I didn't get a comment today no one said nothing about my prediction I want it on write that down I'm saying Sam darnold with six of the 8th first games and I think that's a touchdown even though I'm not saying in what order I'm just saying he wins six games in the 8 first weeks
I know if I need to email somebody I have another one if you could let me know what that is as great otherwise I can Google it but my next prediction is Aaron Rodgers falls off the cliff
Cheers 🥃

And the way I worded it that means six of the first eight games so if there's a bye in there that could be week 9
