dbunting Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 So Detroit gets the draft and they are picking so late that most fans will be in bed and pick 29 is kind of a ehh not exactly sexy... Normally they are always in top 10 draft day but nope, not the year you host it. Last year would've been perfect, I guess the script writers screwed that all up. Unfortunately for me the only day I would have a chance to go to it is Saturday and that just isn't the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maithanet Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 The Draft is tonight, and it sounds like teams are gonna be reaching for quarterbacks even worse than normal. There's a lot of talk that 4 guys (Williams, Daniels, McCarthy and Maye) go in the top 6, and Penix doesn't last past 13. That would be an unprecedented QB haul, and would mean a bunch of top prospects still available for the teams picking in the first 10 picks who don't need a qb. Assuming qbs go 1-2-3 without any trades, that still leaves NYG, MIN, VEG, and DEN needing quarterbacks, and only two guys left who are even remotely 1st round picks. Think Vegas wants a year with Minshew/O'Connell under center? Or the Giants need more of the Daniel Jones Experience? There's gonna be a lot of FOMO pressure, because if you don't come out of the draft with a quarterback, your season is basically over before it begins.

Sorry. So anyways, this was an interesting graphic with the "hit rate" by position of first round picks. Unsurprisingly, offensive linemen are the safest picks (also the least frequent) while skill position players have the highest bust rate.

Seems like there are a lot of secondary guys that can skate by on great physical tools in college and then get exposed in the pros. In college there (usually) isn't a ton of incentive to challenge top cornerbacks, because there are always other places to throw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also love to see that analysis done while controlling for coach/GM change. Rhom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Dallas would be willing to part with Trey Lance if someone comes calling. Anyone? Bueller, Bueller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay B. Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I’d be happy with basically anyone other than J.J. McCarthy for the Giants. He’s all yours @Mr. Chatywin et al. Please trade up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please trade up. Would you honestly rather have Penix over McCarthy? I'm obviously biased as a Michigan fan. I watched Penix at Indiana and he looked really good, but couldn't stay healthy. He put up big stats last season with a guy who is expected to be a 1st round WR. Penix can look awesome but I'd always be scared of a knee injury.

Ramsay B. Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) I meant any other position too. I mean I’m not big on Penix either but what the fuck do I know? Perfect scenario for me would be trading up for Maye. ETA: Welp, there goes that. Edited April 26 by Ramsay B. dbunting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMC Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Well, the Giants made the right pick. Prince of the North 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay B. Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Phew! I wouldn’t have minded if they traded that pick down either. Giants receivers are obviously trash so sorely needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbunting Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Wow Penix to Atl, after they signed Cousins and committed 100 mill guaranteed to him. This is why I don't work in the NFL, I have no idea who is good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 So Chicago won’t take McCarthy… Will the Jets piss off VP A-A-Ron and take a QB??? dbunting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbunting Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I guess we should have seen this coming. They drafted Bijan last year really high and then didn't really use him, same with Pitts so I guess they have no problem w draft and stash philosophy.

But looking at how skinny Jayden Daniels is knowing he’s going to Washington and knowing Caleb Williams is in Chicago where QBs go to die; I just think there are going to be a lot of QB busts.

Rhom Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 And Vikes trade to flip with the Jets. Obviously were worried about exactly what I just said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
