I'm still scratching my head as to why Joe Alexander wasnt drafted #1.

Just scanning through last year's class, the verticals seem far lower this year as a whole. Last year the only player to have a no step vert below 25" was Vasquez. This year there was 11 players.

It almost makes me wonder if they measured in a different way this year from last year, especially given the three guys who were there both years all declined by 3". That seems like a strange coincidence. Otherwise, everything being equal this year's class simply doesn't jump as well as previous years.

I think they changed their methodology somehow.
