No offence but a 1st round rookie sitting behind a near-retirement top 6 QB for 2+ years is a pretty unique set of circumstances. No other team is going to adopt that as a model for them, and if Green Bay had known how long Rodgers was going to play they wouldn't have used a 1st round pick on...
Matt Ryan officially retired from the NFL on the same day that Zach Wilson was traded to the Broncos, and Wilson is the story. That's a sad and ironic footnote to Ryan's career.
A playoff contender couldn't depend on a rookie back-up QB. The Broncos? Let's just say this might not be their year. If Zach Wilson was a FA he'd probably get a non-guaranteed $2.75M 1 year deal. The Broncos are guaranteeing the contract and giving up nominal Draft chart points. It's not a...
Sounds about right. At this point Wilson isn't worth his guaranteed salary. Any team acquiring him would expect the Jets to either be paying some of the salary or giving up a higher pick than they're receiving. Either way it's a low value deal for a back-up QB. Wilson shouldn't be a contender to...
Then again teams select prospects with very high ceilings in the 3rd & 4th rounds who they know will take a year or 2 to develop. Maybe the way forward is a change in roster sizes from 53 to 47 + any rookies you select in the Draft.
Interesting article. It's behind a paywall. I'm not a subscriber, but I got around the paywall. I'm not sure what this site's rules are regarding the posting of whole articles or information about how to bypass the paywall.
That's fine if you want BPA. If you want a specific player at a specific position and other players/positions are of significantly less value to you then you should either move up to get your player or prepare to move down if he's not available to where you will get value. Expecting the #4 QB in...
I'm not disputing the charts or their usefulness. However, they are generic. In some years some of the top picks are more valuable than in some other years either due to being better prospects or the prospects being in higher value positions. I'm merely suggesting that this year the top...
Picks from #3 to #8 or so seem to be more valuable in this Draft than they would be in other Drafts. From #10 downwards the value probably returns close to normal. I don't see both the Vikings 1st round picks being enough to trade into the top 4, if that's what they're looking to do. It's...
A man was convicted of a crime and sentenced to prison. He would have been eligible for parole at a certain point. The appropriate Governor was entitled to intervene on the prisoner's behalf. These are all points I made on a similar thread that ended up being heavily censored on another forum. A...
I don't think Diggs would now qualify for the compensatory pick formula as per overthecap:
Prior to the 2020 CBA, players who have options declined by their former teams qualified for the compensatory formula, even though the team had a method to keep them under contract. For one example, see...
In the UK the 1st offence is a ban for a minimum of 1 year. A 2nd offence is normally more draconian. The alcohol limit in Scotland is considerably lower.

Diggs would have cost the Bills $19.5M for the 2024 season. That the Bills wouldn't have accounted for all of the $19.5M this year wasn't really a factor. Teams can almost always push some of current year hit back. Moving the hit backwards or forwards doesn't increase or decrease the net cost...
As a rough guide: In the top 10 i'm taking the best player at a high value position - QB, WR, LT, DL, or CB. from 11 - 32 it's BvaluePA. 33 - 64 BPA. After 64 it's PoN. After 96 i'm willing to gamble on raw or troubled players with elite attributes.
