Rank the Most Important Positions

[PhoenixEagles1]

again RB dont go high anymore, are they not valuable? what about safeties? you think draft position =value. perhaps it just means its easier to find a player at that position later in the draft, or that theres position flexibility, your IQ must be sub 100

A RB went #4 last year. A C has never gone that high. Ever.

I doubt you come here for sports talk it feels more like you come here to play the role of internet toughguy. And yeah I watch a lot of football and I really don't care how irrational you act. No sense in having a franchise QB if you can't protect him. Have a lovely day

I didn't act like a tough guy. What's irrational about saying Centers NEVER get drafted in the top 10... that proves teams don't view them as crucial. That take is irrational?

 

[Shanemansj13]

What if the QB is left handed?

Hmmm...now you got me thinking. Then you switch your LT to the right-side (strong side)

 

[PhoenixEagles1]

Someone answer this. QB is the highest paid position. DE is 2nd and LT is 3rd. If teams value C sooooooo much why are they one of the lowest paid positions in football. I mean if they're soooo important wouldn't teams be paying big money to land one? Fools!

The content of your post intentionally caustic that is the tough guy mantra', you could have responded in a manner that would want people to respond, that's irrational . Either way you have your beliefs and I am okay with that, I sincerely think you underestimate the importance of the position, but that is my opinion.

MLB does the same exact thing for the D but you have them tanked low. This is ridiculous. I come on here for sports talk and people think Center is right behind QB. Again... if Center was so monumentally important to winning they'd be going #1 in the draft all the time. But nope, no team ever ever ever has drafted one in the top 10. If it was soooo frigging important teams would be fighting for them. They'd get 100,000,000 contracts like QBS and LT. Freaking Center. Do you 3 even watch football

Why do you continually lie about other people's positions?

Rodney Hudson: 6.21% of cap AAV
Harrison Smith: 6.6% of cap in AAV

You gonna tell me safeties aren't valuable too?

Which bucked a trend of devaluation.

 

[soxfan1468927]

Within the last 50 years?

No, but you didn't say that. You said ever.

Wait a minute. Let me get this straight. You said that RB have been devalued and DON'T GET DRAFTED HIGH. Right there you are saying if your position isn't valued you don't get drafted high. Thanks for proving my point on why Centers don't get drafted high... because they're devalued!

 

[PhoenixEagles1]

No, but you didn't say that. You said ever.

Jesus...

No, we're discussing how important they are. You're claiming Centers are not very valuable because they aren't drafted in the top 10. Which, whatever man.

 

[soxfan1468927]

Jesus...

Yeah it's annoying when someone calls out your hyperbole. If you mean in the last 50 years, just say that. You don't have to lie to make your point.

Safety is further down the list like Center.

Where did I lie about positions. I don't get your point? QB are important and get drafted hi and get huge salaries. Same thing for LT and DE. I wonder why FA Centers don't get 100 million dollar contracts like QB, WR, DE, LT? I wonder why that is if they are soooo valued.

A position that moves around between CB, ILB, and true Safety is further down the list? Come on now...

You're completely lost if you thought this was ever about C being right behind the QB for all but a very small vocal few. Or you're just lying.

I don't think that. I also know that having a good Center is important. I'm not saying they're useless either. But most everyone knows the four gold positions are QB, LT, DE (or OLB in the 3-4) and CB. Also most everyone knows further down the list are S and C and MLB and TE.

It's completely evident in the draft and FA. If Centers were valued like the other prime positions teams would be fighting for the star FA Centers... but TEAMS don't do this. Centers don't get mega contracts because... as evident in teams not drafting them high, shelling out huge FA monies for C that they are down the list of positional importance.

If they were so valuable when that once in a generation talent comes along they'd go really REALLY high in the draft but they dont. Ever!
