We’re outside of 24 hours away from the Draft tomorrow night. Since this is usually when trades start going down, I figured I’d throw the thread up now. Share any news and notes here, and use this as the discussion for the picks.

About 24 hours remain to make any bets on the Draft in the SportsBook.

on sirius nfl tonight, polian (i know but hear me out) said that someone at a site called the 33rd team i think studied 1st round only from 2011-2019 and only 36% of those 280+ players got an extension with the team that drafted them. so yeah...high failure rate for most 1st rounders.
I saw that. It's a flawed stat though. Players like AJ Brown (hardly a failure) are part of the 64% "failure" rate.
If a team gets 4 or 5 good years out of it's 1st round player but can't/doesn't resign him, I'm not sure I'd classify that as a failure... At least not in the same sense as a busted pick.

he did mention something about it being mitigted if you factored in players traded to other teams (like a.j.)
Also, beyond what I said in my earlier post:
- Free agency creates big wealth for the best players by not signing with the original team.
- The need for cap space (and real money savings) kicks in when you're signing your high end talent to ever larger deals ($50m QBs and the $20m+ players at other positions take that money out of the system)
- Trades happen.
