From AI:
Since 1994, when the NFL draft moved to seven rounds, 11 teams have drafted two quarterbacks in the same draft class. This includes the 2025 draft where the Cleveland Browns became the 11th team to do so. The Patriots also drafted two QBs in 2024. The other teams to have drafted two QBs in the same draft include the 1980 Raiders and the 2008 Panthers.
The 2008 Panthers, lol.

Say it ain't so, Joe.

Yikes. Not an AI fan at all.

Kinda surprised at you.
lol. Me either, but it answered the first one pretty well. Maybe the AI sports questions are better to ask?

Guess AI got that wrong.
It was 2010. Clausen and Pike.

Since that's easy to find on the internet - though tedious - it's the kind of thing it would be nice if AI were reliable about.

But it's not. Basically each time you have to ask "Are you sure about that?" and it will say something like, "Thanks for asking me to check. Blah blah blah was incorrect and it's actually blah blah blah."

AI is pretty terrible. What's worse, AI is starting to generate a lot of content on the internet, and the internet is what AI is training on, so it will just start feeding itself increasing errors.

Broncos coach Sean Payton said Audric Estime “didn’t have enough (touches)” last year.

“He’s a back that requires enough touches. He’s going to get those opportunities,” Payton continued. RJ Harvey is obviously going to be the main back for the Broncos for fantasy purposes this season, but it’s possible that Estime could carve out a bigger role in Year 2 ahead of other incumbent backs like Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie. Payton does love a good running back platoon. Estime should be drafted as the No. 2 back in Denver’s backfield for now, and if the Broncos offense ascends in 2025, he could potentially find himself a fantasy RB3 as Harvey’s 1B.

For reference, Estime had 20% of Denver's rushing attempts. So expect more.
Are we thinking main back of a committee or the main back?
Is Harvey taking 40% or 70% of the snaps at RB?

Broncos hosted free agent RB J.K. Dobbins for a visit.

The Chargers placed the UFA tender on Dobbins, meaning he has until training camp to negotiate with other teams. LA retains his rights if Dobbins doesn’t sign a deal elsewhere.

Absolutely perfect timing for this discussion. LOL.

Smdh, fockers.

The last line from the Rotoworld blurb-
' Dobbins would provide a legitimate backup option for Sean Payton and could even steal some work from Harvey on early downs'

Well no shit. If Harvey isn't every bit of what they hope he is, Dobbins could easily steal the job outright- until he blows his knee out anyways

Praying that this does NOT happen, as it would frag both of them

Payton has a history of being able to support more than 1 RB for fantasy, just puts a lot of cold water on any Harvey fires ppl expected.

Dobbins is taking on any short yardage stuff over estime if he signs with Denver

For real, can anyone explain to me what the steelers are doing?

Sure, this shell of Rodgers is probably still a little better than Rudolph and the rookie, but this seems like a forced marriage that will surely end in a mess.
Not sure what else they were going to do. If anyone can keep Rodgers penned in it's the Steelers. He's a short-timer, and I expect they will not ask much from him. They will draft a QB next year.

I'm just sad because now I think Russell Wilson will never get the all-time sacked record, which he had worked so hard for (and he's still young!)

Imagine planning to draft a QB next season and not just rolling with Rudolph, unless they think Rodgers is better suited to get them a better pick these days
