I am all about it. And I don't care about who is mocked to the bills. I am neither excited nor elated. I love just talking about who we may draft. But that doesn't mean people shouldn't know what they are getting into.

I forget where I read it, but none of these guys have any idea what they are doing. Teams actually have their draft boards put together prior to the Senior Bowl. What is really happening is teams are using the Senior Bowl and Combine to confirm what they thought they already knew. So long as there are no serious injuries or personal issues guys stay pat. Teams only move off a guy if there is something seriously wrong. On the other hand, no body is "rising" because he ran a really fast 40 at the combine or benched a ton of reps. What is really happening when guys "rise" or "fall" is the draft "experts" are starting to pick up on what teams are thinking. The combine is important because that is when the draft experts start getting inside info into what is going on inside the team organizations, due in part to the massive media-scouting exposure. Thats why the mocks change so radically. The whole thing is a massive racket. It only works because fans are football starved and are looking for any drama they can get.

I would expect either very few trades this year or extremely low value trades. The draft chart doesn't mean much this year. Very few teams need QBs, and there are very few QBs worth drafting high up. That drives the trade market. With the decreased emphasis on needing to get to the top, there will be fewer trades and the value will go down.

Yeah, but your point didn't make any sense... The competition is significantly more difficult. The game plan is more detailed. The preparation is extensive. You are getting your best play from the best players in the league. You are not playing games against terrible Cowboys, Giants, and Redskins teams. Take the Chiefs for example, or even the Bengals, classic regular season champions. How do they do in the playoffs?

Whoa, where did all this HOF talk come from. I'm just saying that a QB who wins the superbowl should be valued higher than a QB that had a good regular season.

I stand by my opinion that getting a team to the playoffs is not nearly as hard as winning every game in the playoffs and super bowl. And, frankly, I don't think that is such an outrageous opinion that it deserves to be mocked.

That is a stellar comparison. But even then, the quarterback wasn't nearly as important as it is now.

You are making some ticky tacky distinctions. I can concede that Foles did not get them to the playoffs for their Superbowl run. But that is the easy part. The hard part is making a run through the playoffs and winning the superbowl. Thats what matters. Thats what only a handful of guys in the league can do. And thats what he can do. As far as this year, he dragged them into the playoffs and then won a game (and came close against the Saints) that they had no business winning. You are not giving him nearly enough credit for what is a historic accomplishment. He is obviously the best back up in the league, but more than that he is, at the absolute least, an average to above average starter. Wentz hasn't done a thing in comparison.

Dudes been around for how many years? It’s not like he is some rookie qb.

You really do just have no idea what you are talking about.

Its for sure diminished. My point is that a TE can have a really good day, even if the reason his day was so good is because he was a dominant blocker.

Lots of guys come into the league with all the talent in the world. The difference is what happens between the ears. Foles has proven he can do it. I'm not sure Wentz has. I think this is a way bigger risk than people are acknowledging. Plus, what are you really looking for when searching for a QB? You are looking for a guy that can you to and win a SB. Nick Foles has done that.

Dual threat TEs are important. It isn't an either or. If receiving was all that mattered, they could have very easily made Gronk a WR. The difference is what they can do in-line.

That percentage looks much worse in the context of our salary cap space. What is the number as a percentage of the total salary cap?

Yessss. I knew this dumb take was coming. And its better that it came from one of the "usual suspects"
