They have a certain amount of ad time and more eyes are on the early picks.

The issue is a lot of the talent on defense is also a reach at 8.

I'm glad we only have to wait a few hours until the draft starts, and then a few more hours to get to the 8th pick.

I'm still not taking Jaxson Dart before him unless it's like the 3rd round. Seems crazy to me. There's an outside chance Sanders is good in the NFL. I think Dart is a backup.

I think he's probably the best available when we pick. I like him as a player and would enjoy the chaos of it. https://www.theplayerstribune.com/ashton-jeanty-nfl-draft-football-boise-state

It's like putting "or best offer" on your craigslist ad. You're gonna take a haircut with that.

Ok this is the timeline I want.

Stars somehow pull it off

now that's getting fleeced

Avs up 1 on a sick goal by Nichushkin

Tulsky dodged a bullet by flipping him for Stankoven and picks at the 11th hour.

And its always us

Yea I'd do it for a 4th rounder, but I'm pretty sure they're going to want more than that.

I like the idea of the Giants taking a backup QB at 18 instead of Shedeur Sanders

One more pop on a PED test and he's out 17 games.

Yeah it's insane. Also with the late 1st being technically the highest surplus value, that means that the best run teams are getting the highest surplus value picks every year. So while they might not be picking in the top 10 and landing the Abdul Carters, they are picking in the last 10 and landing cheap pro bowlers.

Well trading out and up (today's 2nd for tomorrow's 1st) is way better than trading down. It's just that's how you get fired as a GM, because you're going to suck until you get to make those selections and they have time to hit their strides. It's the mismatch of incentive that causes the bad decisions that overly prioritize today at the expense of tomorrow. You have to win now or you're gone. No 80 year old billionaire has the patience for a 5 year plan.

Just finished it, and this was a great video. The other one I linked has some similar findings in it. Fitterer definitely subscribed to some of this, but he couldn't evaluate talent. It doesn't matter how many at bats you get if you strike out 100% of the time.

He did another great video on the draft a while ago. highly recommend.

Same thing really

I have a gut feeling that Pittsburgh will pass on him, because they don't like him. Cleveland will take him with their 2nd round pick and feel like they got a legendary draft class. Like when they double dipped years ago and got Trent Richardson and Brandon Weeden. Incredible draft value. The future had been secured. Everyone lived happily ever after.

There's smoke that the 49ers would take Nolen at 11.

Well I'll go ahead and put my name down. Call me stupid, but I'd rather reach on Walter Nolen at 8 than see us trade down. If that's the best guy on their board at 8, then so be it. He could easily be Jalen Carter, which would be a huge add for us.

Yeah I'd rather take the guy that's highest on our board than move down 20 picks to gain a few guys that will just be washouts. We need quality players. Use the top 10 pick.
