Even more confusing looking at the roster. Cordarrelle was awesome, but that's about the only thing that stands out. They had one receiver in London who was fine. TEs are nobodies since Pitts missed mostb.of the season. A few good OL players, but I cannot think how it's possible to even get top 10 with their roster.

Especially when you look at the 2021 roster and all the players you would consider good (Pitts, Cordarrelle, Matthews, Lindstrom, just no London) were there and they get ranked 26th that year.

You're probably correct it was this. Good read as usual fw.

I’ve thought Jake Matthews is among the most dependable, underrated LT’s for some time,

And Lindstrom and McGary have finally gotten recognized, and started making Pro Bowls,

But even I admit that London and Pitts are more about projection and hype than the production they’ve shown by this point in their careers.

As others have pointed out, whoever created that chart is just mashing buttons.

Falcons #1 for that season? C'mon man!

chargers skill position players should ensure they were never bottom 4 but somehow their avg is bottom 4?

Chase, boyd, higgins and mixon and they are never in the top 15?

2019 chiefs had tyreek, kelce, watkins, hardman, mccoy & damien williams but they are ranked 16th? For that to be the case their offensive line had to have been replaced with traffic cones. The fact that kelce and tyreek aren't in the top 3 every year for skills players + OL means KC only played with 4 down lineman or these rankings suck.

Of course GB being top 12 each year is absurd. GB had one top 100 pass catcher.

I’m less up on Burrow than some others but nonetheless, this seems rather unfair towards him

lol at taking Trevor over Tua

Of all the aggressions in there, Richardson and Maye over Hurts seem like the most egregious

I don't mind if someone wants to rank a rookie above any non-rookie not named Mahomes just based on their ceiling being unknown.

But Trevor over any QB picked after him (and Tua) is objectively terrible.

Far be it from me to be a pedant but…

we are sharing opinions here so it’s subjective and…

picking Trevor over Wilson, Lance, Fields, Mac Jones etc seems entirely reasonable

If ‘picked’ relates to this list and not draft picks then I think it’s still fair to pick Trevor over several of the players on this list.

Yeah I'm speaking strictly of the players on the list. The only player not on the list I'd 100% take over Trevor is Tua.

FWIW, I looked the details up on The Athletic website. "The rules are simple, which QB (and their contract) would you want leading your franchise over the next three seasons? "

Contract situation might benefit Trevor over Tua. Probably still wouldn't pick in that order though.

What hurts Burrow are injury concerns I guess. The rookies and Richardson over Hurts is obviously for contract reasons even though the cap hit isn't even that bad over the next 3 years.

I'm generally not a huge fan of using cap hits for comparisons on those long term deals because the numbers are so easily adjustable. Mahomes has a $37mil cap hit this year and between $64.5 and $68.5 each of the next 3 seasons. We already know he won't count that much against the cap next year.

Roast was pretty fun, could’ve been 10x better if Kevin Hart had any sense of delivery or talent for being able to read when he should move on (ex: no one was laughing at his “don’t come at me” warnings…not because he happened to land any zinger, but because it was just cringey).

Kevin Hart's career can be summed up in two words.

The new "alternate" Pats logo is ok if your team is Notre Dame. I can fairly assume the intent of the new logo but it certainly could have been done better.

I would take Love way higher. He was really impressive. But yes the Burrow thing is the joke of it all. These guys gotta get clicks

Jared Goff 4/212-170

Big $$

Also Antoine Winfield 4/84-46 which is apparently not only highest ever paid safety but also highest paid DB.

Although I’m sure that Pat Surtain changes that soon

Good for Goff.

Season opener is BAL @ KC (-3, o/u 49.5).

Not surprised, I'm glad it's week one actually.

Well at least we know definitively what the floor is for Tua, because I can't imagine him accepting a lesser deal.

Lions get Goff, Sewell and St. Brown all done. It is ****ing weird having a competent front office.

hard disagree.

that's the ceiling - no way Tua can argue he's done more than Goff. Goff has had two deep playoff runs, never gets injured and has basically the same last two seasons of regular season performance

Fair points

I have a hard time believing in the year of our lord 2024 literally Jared ****ing goff is getting 170 guaranteed

Between this and the Amon ra contact I can only conclude they took the nfc championship very personally and are determined to **** the 9ers every way possible

can't imagine any other team paying close to that but i guess it makes sense given lions window is now?

if you told me 2 years ago goff would ever get 170mil guaranteed...
