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.

That's silly though. Statistically the first two rounds have a much higher hit rate than day 3 picks. Just because you can retire off a scratch off lottery ticket doesn't mean it's feasible as a repeatable process.

I like our odds of getting a good player better at 8. Agreed with TMacs agent.

Rantanen is still a lethal shooter, but who else can create space for him besides Colorado? The way he cruises around the ice means someone else has to skate with the puck to create space.

Just trying to look on the bright side in advance lol

Nolen feels like a big reach but his potential is ridiculous.

No comment about two TE's in the top 10? Seems absurd to me. I guess anything's possible, but I don't see it.

Sure but I think the speculation is they're looking to get more than that. To me it looks like they're trying to sell high while he's coming off a career year statistically. They already know they won't be signing him long term for whatever reasons.

Jameson Williams has already been popped for PEDs and gambling. No thanks.

An elite back is a luxury and their shelf life isn’t long. It’s better to use FA or a trade to make that happen when you already have a good team.

I’d probably give 3rd to Ghost but it’s a toss up.

The devils

Let’s get that Gentlemen’s sweep back in Raleigh game 5

Woooooo
