Nearly 40% of the time he has a reception he forces someone to miss a tackle.
And he averages over 9 yards after the catch for each reception.
Both those numbers are far-and-away the best in the P5.
But you know who desperately wanted to trade up and draft Mahomes? McAdoo.

It would be interesting to study how draft valuation charts have changed over the years - my impression is that the value have flattened over time (ratio of pick 1 to say pick 33 has declined a bit). That backs up the theory that more picks are now looked on more favorably than fewer higher...
Saw the total eclipse near Burlington, VT. Really spectacular - like someone flipped a light switch.
This video (not mine) gives you a sense of the timing:
Trip back was horrendous - 7 hours instead of 3 1/2. Such is life - but it was worth it.
The difference between 99% and 100% is like nothing you could ever imagine - truly a sight to see at least once in your life. I saw the last eclipse in Idaho and it was the most dramatic thing I have ever seen by far.
I'm going to be driving up to Vermont where it's total - weather should be...
This is a nice article (hope it wasn't posted previously here) on Maye's toughness. Includes video of that massive hit on Brady by Clements in Brady's first season.
Article echoes Mayo's comments - Maye has a higher ceiling than others but also a lower floor. So they know exactly what they...
Sure there are busts, but at a much lower rate than QB's drafted lower.
In the first ten picks there were 16/28 starters and 7 stars - roughly 50% and 25% odds.
How about 2nd round? 5/21 starters and only a few stars (Drew Brees, Andy Dalton, Colin Kaepernick) with Garoppolo trailing those. So...
As I understand it you need 2 returners back. Arguably it will be both RBs.
Players like Mapu and Dugger will also be important on both sides of the play.
What is interesting is the way rugby officials handle these penalties (at least in the World Cup). They are all subject to video review which the TV audience can actually see. The rugby penalties for things like a deliberate blow to the head (red card, meaning player is sent off and not...
Reiss on the new regime - not much more than has been said here already:

Bill had the credibility to take a hard line. Most other coaches do not. Bill the coach only wanted to coach players that would toe his line - perhaps that restricted who Bill the GM could sign.
College players nowadays have a lot more power than they used to have - perhaps the transition to...
I keep seeing this claim.
Here's the reality - Patriots have actually spent a lot of cash to date:
It's also instructive how Bill's "treat 'em like ****" coaching tree repeatedly flamed out when they tried to imitate his style.
There are only three ways to get players - you can draft them, you can sign FAs and you can trade for them.
The reality is that this year the FA offerings on the OL and WR front were meager - all the best players got retained. They took a swing at one lower-level WR1 with history of...
