Something to note in general is that there's only about a 15% hit rate for visits : drafted

If a team knows what a guy brings, and knows his character through other means (combine, pro-day, etc.), then they don't need to bring them in.  If they are interested, but there's a level of mystery, questions, or anything extra they're trying to learn, well yeah, then they'll bring them in.

So don't simply equate visit to being bought in.  Visits indicate interest but can just as easily be something teams come away with a hard confirmation the dude is off their board.

Could mean they sold and want to confirm.  Some could mean people hear weird stuff but the tape is too hard to ignore so they wanna meet the kid.  So many possibilities.

The more interesting thing to me is that we're not playin around with the positions we're interested in drafting. QB, Edge/LB, CB, Wr, TE, backup OL. Also seems like a good amount of guys that could end up in UDFA so maybe trying to get some leverage there considering we have like 25 spots to fill to get to 90

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
