What happened to the Warmack bandwagons?

I bet he doesn't go in the top 20. Seems like every year there's supposed to be an OG that goes in the top half of the 1st and yet it almost never actually happens.

you know why? cause most teams don't like the idea of drafting an OG in the first round. i don't see this year being any different. few want to be "that" team. it's seen as a luxury pick that few are able to make. it's also seen as just not a premium position that you need to invest much in. you draft an OG in the first and you might get him for kind of cheap for a rookie, but when that second contract comes up it's going to be really expensive if he works out and that's usually just more than what teams are going to want to commit themselves to.

Exactly. Analysts just hear the NFL guys raving about a prospect and don't take into account the position he plays. You'd never see a kicker, punter, or FB mocked in the 1st round. Yet they can't get it through their thick skulls that interior OLs almost never go in the top half of the 1st. Elite ones go around 20ish, very good ones go jear the bottom of the first, and there will be years when none go in the 1st at all.

He's fell a bit while Cooper from UNC has gained on him. If you have Warmack as a top ten player then pretty much so is Cooper. Will either of them go top 10??? I doubt it, but I think they both go in the first round and most likely both go top 20.

A bunch of mock drafts and scouts are actually moving Cooper above Warmack as well. Three of these have Cooper above Warmack and Cooper going in the 7-19 range. While Warmack is going in the 11-18 range.

    • No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.
    • Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
