If it's one thing less the other teams have to acquire on their own, it frees up those resources to investigate other issues/ideas/whatnot. That is the competitive advantage I'm speaking about.

Think of it like this. When running a business, you need someone to do marketing, advertising, accounting, etc ... if you have one person do all of that, it makes them a jack of all trades, rather than a master of one. If you hire someone for each facet, you will be more efficient and accurate.

So, anything the Packers provide that could be a benefit, is going to be one thing less other teams have to use time to do themselves. That's an advantage to the competition. Of course, unless every team is doing the same thing, which I'd give my vote for.

I think it's more useful if you don't focus so much on who is ranked where. Just focus on the fact that someone being ranked highly means they are likely having a good camp. Someone ranked low is probably struggling a bit. Being upset with specific rankings of who is #1 or #2 etc. is being upset over like .01 difference. Not significant enough imo to worry about.
