Official 2024 NFL Draft Thread

Sure, it’s nice to have a D’Brickashaw Ferguson protecting the QB’s blindside. But the kung fu (skill) between a Ferguson and a, say, Marshall Newhouse ain’t as material as that of a Butte and a Jon Kitna.

Premium picks should be used on playmakers like the Claymaker and J-Alex, not Elgton Jenkins, Kenny Clark and Derrick Sherods. Sure, there are hits and busts at every position. But replace Clark with, say, Cletudus Hunt, and the production would be extremely similar.

Try replacing the Claymaker with Frank Zombo. The difference in kung fu is significant. Therefore, gotta use premium picks on finesse playmakers, not fat Yokozunas.

One of your better posts, APB. It’s basically what I’ve said all along - O Line tends to be less important than a lot of other positions.

Yeah right to the idea that you see plenty of busts and disappointments in other positions drafted early too, but I’m fairly sure the most by a wide margin are O linemen.

I bet DL and QBs bust more often.

I found one article which was a bit dated (2015) on the subject. The 4 positions with the most 1st round busts were QB, RB, WR and DL. All the OL positions were in the lower half of bust percentage.

The move is clear then. Trade all your 1sts and 2nds and load up on the 3rd round....oops, that won't work for our GM.

We could own the 4th.

We could own the 4th.

Yes, the 7 iron of the draft. Mr. 7 wiggle. The home of Bak, Tom, Doubs, Jamal Williams, JC Tretter, Mike Daniels, TJ Lang, Josh Sitton and Brady Poppinga.

If we own the 4th we own the Lombardi Cup!!

More busts in the 3rd round than in the 1st and 2nd.
