(479 words, 1.5x draft media)
What do I mean with "Geographic Draft Analysis"? I'll analyze each ISFL first round pick to determine the average distance from their players' hometown to the franchise headquarters. If a player has a state listed instead of listed and no specific city, I used that state’s capital. If a player had no hometown and no state listed, I used their college. If they had no hometown, no state, and no college, I excluded them altogether.
