Here are some numbers I found. Posted this a few months back. 2nd round - about 33% of players drafted in the 2nd round developed into a solid NFL starter. It’s higher for the top of the round. From here, it dropped by 50% per round. 3rd round - about 16%. 4th round - about 8%. If you do the math, selecting two 3rd rounders gives you a 29.44% chance of gaining ONE long term starter. Thats less than the odds for a single high 2nd.

No, the stats clearly show that the odds of getting a good player fall drastically as the draft goes on. In short, your odds of getting a starter at the top of the 2nd round is much higher than finding one starter from three 3rd rounders. It’s like this. If your kicker sucks, do you want to give him one try on the 10 yard line or 3 tries at the 50?

We don’t need more practice squad players. Our scouts suck. Those high 2nd rounders are the best chance we have.

It’s the exact same scouts with the assistant GM now the GM. Why does anyone think things will be that different?

Where’s that numerology guy when you need him.

It’s coach speak for “we’re going to TRY to run it a lot”. All of that will go out the window if they can’t.

There were better options at that draft position. He might turn into something, but we should have taken one of the more pro ready guys.

This is what the Steelers do. You complain and you’re gone. He complained - he got shipped to the worst team in the league. Picket complained about Russ, he was gone the next day.

I feel so bad for those writers. They are really reaching. “Breaking: Canales sits next to Reid at some event.” Superb Owl!

Mingo was a mistake.

“And again, we can't fix everything overnight because there is a lot of holes, and I think that we all have to understand that. The fans have to understand that, and people in the building have to understand that, that it isn't going to happen overnight, but it is going to eventually happen.”

They will subscribe until they are dead. It’s what they like and are used to. It’s just like my grandparents and landline phones. Real talk though: all these streaming options are not going to work long term. At some point they will consolidate into cable tv 2.0 because people want simple. They won’t be as powerful as before because of YouTube, but it will happen.

YouTube TV is really close in price already.

The only people still subscribing to cable or listening to radio are boomers/gen X.
