My favorite line in Moneyball is "Your goal shouldn't be to buy players, your goal should be to buy wins."
Looking at WAR and other metrics used to determine positional value as they contribute towards wins, it's very clear the most important positions in football are:
QB, CB, WR and S by A LOT. I was surprised about safety. Then there is a significant drop off in importance, followed by: RB, Edge, LB, OT, TE, DI, G, C in that order.
Go get Sneed and Blackmon (or Simmons)
