I could'nt understand why the NFLPA would want to take something so special away from any rookie. Walking on that stage in the draft is something every NFL player drafted should have the right to do, no matter what the problem's are between player's and owner's.

They'll still be holding events around the time of the draft, but decided not to compete directly.

Glad to hear it myself. The whole "rookies should skip the draft" thing was a huge boondoggle.

You are being too PC. It was pure chicken poo. Good they aren't trying to screw these kids over anymore.

I have said the same thing and feel the same way. It is selfish of the current players to ask these kids to not participate in the draft. There is going to be football eventually and to rob them of this once in a lifetime experience is purely cr*p.

      I could smell this excuse coming. Any starter drafted after the 2nd is a bonus, not an expectation. Oh we need more offensive help because we spent so much on defense. We spent all that because we've barely drafted any defensive starters the last 5 years. The way I see it you'll get a better return on investment in defense than offense currently with this team. We proved that last year with just a modicum of investment in the defense. I'm not the biggest believer in Evero but I trust him more than Bryce.  The biggest factor holding the offense back wears #9. Accuracy is one of his strengths? 23rd in the league while being 30th in Y/A. Someone will claim we get no YAC but 49% of our yards were YAC which is higher than most teams in the league.  Unless he drastically improves you're going to get a bad return on investment. Yes TMac had a great rookie year but it wasn't exactly efficient volume wise. He has one of the worst catch % in the league at just 57%, probably related to that 23rd accuracy ranking.

      If this team lets the Bucks or Bulls catch them, Charles Lee should be fired immediately and punched in the face by some random fan on the way to his car.

      Bucks and Bulls have to try hard to tank and not take our play in spot at this point, still not mathematically eliminated I think but too tired to do the math, too close for comfort either way to close out the regular season in a drought
