the nfl on tv was alot different in the 80's. the nfc was on cbs, while the afc was on nbc. you would turn on the nfl today at 1pm and hear brent musburger say.."you are looking live at veteran's stadium, as the eagle's take on the redskins". no nfl suday ticket, so if you didn't want to watch that game, you could switch to watch the steelers vs oilers on nbc. and monday night football. it was always like the cowboys vs chiefs. in the late 80's early 90's in the intro they would have clips of an interview with one of the player's, example troy aikmen. they would always say "i think we have a team that can go all the way this year". frank gifford and dan deirdorf called the games then. memory lane.

yeah, and if you didn't stay up you had to read the paper the next AM to find out who won.

people would get so fugin' pissed at what game they were showing, that stations had to take a phone poll and the game with the most votes was the one they would show and tell people that highest vote total won it to keep them from getting pissed.

If you wanted highlights you had to watch George Michaels Sports machine at 11:30 pm ot see extended highlights. but in that 30 minutes it was only half football and the other half the other sports. So each game got like 30 seconds of highlights. And you had to stay up late to get that.

And we had to bet on games via the newspaper cuz that was the only method available for the lines.

And the bars had .10 wings and $1 drafts for MNF.

      Hes Short as Hell but Man I Like This Kid

      What I'm saying is that he wouldn't be on my board to be drafted. He'd be on the "if these guys go undrafted, give them a call" board.

      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.
