Saw this on Facebook this week.

Still one of the stupidest things ever to me to announce it before the draft.

Hard to tell how good a draft is right away, but you can get a pretty good idea and teams can fill in the missing pieces if they're not too far away from being really good.  Also, it's hard to tell how good a team will improve just based off of the draft, but you can definitely normally tell if a team has a horrible draft.

I'd love to hear the logic behind releasing the schedule before the draft.

Yes but against the hardest team on the schedule.

It's our time to announce that we're here for a big season.

I'd love for this to happen so we can make the world start thinking about us and, more importantly, to give us a crazy amount of confidence.

Same.
