Can someone please explain something to me. Why are 2nd&3rd round picks (who have absolutely have no for sure value) valued so damn high? Why would you not take a for-sure NFL starter over a unsure rookie if you have the cap and are a super bowl contender?

Bc 31 other teams can draft starters on a rookie deal in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Just not us.

Because rookie contracts are so relatively cheap. Draft picks are by far your best opportunity to get the best bang for the buck out of your cap space.

I can't remember who, but someone posted the percentage chance of getting a starter in each round. It was pretty good in the 1st and 2nd, and still decent in the 3rd, but really bottoms out after that.

And teams can differ so much in player rankings that a lot of times a 2nd rounder is a top pick relative to your draft board

Gotcha. I just wish sometimes we’d make a splash trade to get somewhere. AB at vet minimum 0 guaranteed $ for the rest of the year, he opens his mouth he is immediately released. Gives him an opportunity to redeem himself and it helps us win. Tepper signed Reid, let’s go get AB now lol

If AB in NE didn’t work, what makes you think for a second that it’ll work here

I’m pretty sure there is a pending suspension tied to AB. Otherwise sure.

AB isn't really able to be signed.

Reid actually has a functioning brain.

    • TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive. 
    • I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
    • Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
