NFL Drafting Efficiency, 2010-2019

im not sure this is much of a problem anymore

you rarely hear of teams being in cap hell. even when teams do get up against the cap and would like to make other moves, there always seems to be a guy or two that can be cut that don't really bring much to the table, but clear up a lot of room

i think teams are getting much better at managing their cap. i mean look at the cowboys, they seem to be at the cap every season, yet somehow they always manage to sign more free agents (not saying the cowboy way is better, just that they can do it)

The cowboy method of overpaying, being in cap hell, cutting the guy they overpaid and then overpaying a different guy...yea, it can be done.

We'll see next year. It seems GB have a few players that could cost a Top 5 contract (Clark, Bahk, Jones) plus at least one other they might not want to replace quite yet because the position is so hard to fill (King). Hopefully they have it all figured out though.

I didn't actually read the article (no time) but what is the criteria of a good pick here? Games started? Relative guarantee size of second contract? What, exactly? Packers had a lot of starters but most of them were ass.

I full expect jones to be gone. Unless dillion is a rashan gary

You don't even know if Rashan Gary is a Rashan Gary. It takes three years. And Gary still had good pressure numbers for the amount of snaps he had. But that's beside the point.

Even if Jones is gone, that's Top 3 money to Clark and Bahk. That's a lot of $. And they both deserve it.

The rg comment was me trying to be funny and passive aggressive. Something i guess i need to learn better from my wife

Clark is a must-keep. Jones is almost a must-keep. The only reasons he might not be are the tendency of RBs to not last long and the fact that we have several other quality RBs. Bakhtiari, as I've said before, I don't have a high opinion of and I really hope he doesn't get anywhere near a max deal. There doesn't seem to be much love in here for Linsley, who to me is a helluva lot better lineman than Bakhtiari.

Don't know if Dillon is Rashan Gary. But he's not Eddie Lacy.

[Radagast]

I don't believe that any could mistake A.J. Dillon for Eddie Lacey, however the hope is he will meet or exceed Lacey in his prime.

I also suspect that this season will be Rashan Gary's last chance to live up to his #1 pick status.

Jordan Love will, if his luck holds, get 3 to 4 years to transition to the pro game. Additionally, I never expect much from Rookie QBs in preseason or as sophomores either.

As I ain’t queer, I ain’t look below the head at the body. Looks like Dillion has the male baldness thing.

Poor man’s Brandon Jacobs. Can Dillion play the Mike?

Eddie often looked good in the offseason. Just saying.

Actually, I think it happened once, but it didn't last long.
