If you downloaded our rankings and sorted by default projections, then you would never draft Ricky Pearsall, right?

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Pearsall example of why default projections miss value plays.

Matt Kelley uses Ricky Pearsall as an example of why default projections should not be used for draft decisions; Pearsall would never be drafted if sorted by default projections despite being a strong play, similar to how Jamir Gibbs should be preferred over Bijan Robinson despite lower default projections.
