I’ve read so much stuff today so I can’t tell you where this is from, but somebody said there’s a drop off after about 120. This gets the Pats another pick before that happens.

There are always many considerable factors on why the price should possibly be one thing, or another. Good to see she’s already trying to warm the 49ers fans up to the idea that Deebo isn’t worth anywhere near what they think because the real goal is to get his guaranteed salary off the books...

Deebo only makes sense to me if the 49ers are looking at it as dumping his guaranteed salary to free up cash and future cap to re-sign Aiyuk. Like…day 3 pick value. It seems harsh, but that’s the reality for these top-heavy teams as soon as one of their big money guys starts to underperform.

It feels a little obtuse to ignore Okorafor, presumably because he was a RT with the Steelers, while seamlessly projecting the 4 first round college RTs over to LT.

The Sam Darnold trade was 3 for 6 and three 2nds, two present and one future. That was with the Colts having Andrew Luck and posing no risk of taking Darnold themselves.

The Pat McAfee Show feed should be freely available on YouTube, right? Given that he’s part of ESPN now, I hope they can show the actual picks being announced. That’s what’s missing from all the other livestream type draft shows.

The hot new rumor is JC Latham to the Chargers, even if they pick at 5. Daniel Jeremiah mocked him there, and he’s now the betting favorite. On the other hand, that should make them an obvious trade down candidate unless they’re worried that other team want him that badly too (even over Alt).

This issue is that each team is given a rookie “salary cap” based on the players they draft. That value doesn’t change if they trade unsigned draft picks, and there’s basically no way for the money to be even on both sides of a trade. One team would be left with too many drafted players to sign...

My favorite example is Todd Gurley, who signed an extension after three seasons but was released two years later, when his rookie contract would have expired anyway. The end result is that it was effectively a $22.5M, 0 year extension.

There was some more context in Bob McGinn’s paywalled article. Reportedly, Mitchell doesn’t do well when his diabetes isn’t under control, but also doesn’t put in the effort to keep it under control.

I know people want things to be simple, but this stat has removed all nuance to the point where it just doesn’t make sense anymore.

It seems that the media has caught word, because I’m now seeing stuff like three 1sts and a 3rd from the Vikings. I don’t think they realize that an extra 3rd is only something like 3% of an increase on the overall trade value.

Trading from 3 to 11 to 4 to 12 is absurd even by your standards

https://www.nfl.com/news/daniel-jeremiah-s-top-150-prospects-in-the-2024-nfl-draft-class Daniel Jeremiah’s top 150. Jalyx Hunt, who had a top-30 visit with the Patriots, is the big winner here at 64. It’s awfully similar to when Jeremiah had Mapu at 73 a year ago. He wasn’t as kind to Patrick...

OTC says the $19.125M option bonus isn’t due until September 1, which would mean it goes to the new team rather than being dead money for the Eagles as shown here. I think the cap sites just don’t know how to handle the loophole that lets teams prorate bonuses while still being able to send the...
