Trying to get lucky is how we got where we are now.
No, we got here because the Cardinals don’t believe in continuous improvement. We got here because the Cardinals do not look for every competitive advantage. We got there because a team that claims their business model is draft and develop traded away their last two comeptitive balance picks and signed guys with qualifying offers attached to them, forfeiting 2nd round picks. We got there because the guy in charge of the drafts is not especially good at it. We got here because the Cardinals gutted their player development and analytics staffs to save a few dollars.
