I know that the horse that Borel is on isn't that good. But with the horse getting the #3 position and the way he likes to hug the rail, I wouldn't bet against him. There aren't any sure things this year and 30-1 odds for the best jockey that the Derby has right now would be tempting.

Best day of the year!! Stephen Foster. Mint Julips. Sun dresses. Big hats.

Most exciting 2 minutes in sports.

LOVE IT!

Dumb question cuz I should know this, but do you currently live in Chicago or you just from here?

Whichever one it is, you've ever been down to Arlington Park?

Yea expect that 30-1 to disappear real fast. No matter where you go you are gonna get some value, I think it will end up a lot like it was last year with the favorite going off at 7-1 (not sure if that's what it was exactly).

Neither. :D Just loved the Bears since I was a wee youngin many, many moons past.

No, but I've been to several other tracks. Went to the Derby once when I lived in Kentucky.

    • Like I said before, I don't get the "only as a UDFA" sentiment, you have to keep following your board. Now if Pavia falls to what amounts to the supplementary UDFA section of the board, that's great, but if he's sitting at the top when you're picking day three (yes, I can't see him being drafted before day three), then you pull the trigger. Rounds 5-7 don't generally provide keepers anyway, you can use them for players that you want to take a closer look at that you may be able to develop.  Pavia may not translate to the pros. Nobody would bet anything of value on it. But, he was highly productive in college due to his play extension abilities, "body torque" mechanics on short and intermediate throws, and good accuracy on said throws. And, he has that dawg in him to be sure.  All that being said, Drew Allar will probably be able to be had on day three, and if it comes down to it--due to nothing but my prejudice against short, weak-armed QBs--I'd pick Allar.
    • Yeah, receivers contracts are crazy, and it's probably not going to change. You almost have to take your swings--keep some picks at WR churning between rounds one through three in order to keep your costs down and give you options at contract time. Creating that value surplus appears to be more important at WR and all the premium positions than getting a non-premium position player who generally are just easier to replace as it pertains to value. The holy grail is to hit on a premium position late, but due to the gradually declining hit rate on days one and two that drops off a cliff day three, you basically have to get lucky. 
    • Very interesting indeed. It did make my head swim more. It said a lot, but it still didn't give any concrete answers. Kinda makes me want to pivot back towards a premium position though...
