My argument against that is we had the best MLB in a generation in 2019 and no QB and our team was butthole. QB makes the whole team go. Without one, we are not going to win anything.

I understand what you're saying but we need a QB over all other positions right now. A good QB mitigates weaknesses throughout the roster. The trade up would be worth it to me. There are other rounds than just the first and good GM's can find good players in those rounds too.

Ah, so you want Mac Jones I see.

In my mind you take that risk on a QB. Also no one can really say how well anyone can hold up over the course of a career. Look at Andrew Luck and Jake Locker for example. Those dudes were huge but had to retire due to injuries.

I want him. If we don't get Watson I want us to trade up to 2 to get him.

Hurney doing Hurney things.

Stupid brain injury to Michael Oher

plz drive the price down

No, you're not wrong. I think as far as draft pundits go his mocks are right at the top of the bell curve. He's not the worst and he's not the best. The draft really is a crapshoot, some teams take guys off the board for reasons others don't mind and when trades are made it throws everything completely out of whack. I think he basis his mock around team needs, whereas some base their mocks around BPA and or scheme fit.

Please let me re-iterate: Mock Drafts between now and right before the draft are created for clicks and views and they make dumb changes to get people talking and visiting their crap more. I will not be taking any mock as gospel until right before the draft.

I would draft Tony Romo in the first round. Tony Romo was not the issue in Dallas.

I will not root for this team if Jameis Winston is ever signed. Full stop.

To be fair it's harder to pick all pro talent when you're drafting in the mid to late 20's compared to the top 10 because your teams actually make it to the playoffs. Also, comparatively based on draft position and output, Gettleman's drafts were better than Hurney's based on value and production: Source

Oh he did: So these two dipsticks that ruined our Cap are now working together for Washington and they think that the moves they made the second time around are better because they weren't devastatingly butthole moves (even though they were absolutely butthole moves). It's comical.

I have been trying to learn python in my spare time (mostly for fantasy football purposes). I'm wondering if that could be utilized in some way to pull all necessary data and run queries.

Most definitely. I think there would need to be multiple sheets most likely with some references to the salary cap on any given year. It would still be super fun to play with.

OK, this is great, super insightful information, HOWEVER I have a few questions and a few tweaks that I would recommend that might improve the data integrity. Also, I would absolutely love to deep dive into this if you have the data available: I think a hard number of 8 mil/year is not necessarily the best way to go in terms of determining if paying a RB is good or bad for the team. The cap in 2012 was different in 2020 and paying a RB 8 million today isn't nearly as bad as paying one 8 million even 5 years ago. Instead, at what percentage of overall cap used does the investment into RB become detrimental to the overall record of a team? Truth be told, I would love to see the overall cap percentage correlations between winning and losing franchise for all positions (QB, WR, RB, TE, C, G, T, CB, LB, Pass Rusher, S, DT, K, P, LS). At what percentage of the cap allocated to a WR do you start hurting the other areas of the team? At what percentage of a combo of QB and WR does it start hurting the team? etc. etc. Like I said, if you have the overall salary of the players, the team's record, and an individual player's stats broken down by year, I would love to dive in and see what the data says in terms of where the best teams allocate their resources. @kungfoodude

Well this just makes me more angry that we kept Hurney another year too long. Granted I've been drinking. But still.

Honestly, It happens all the time. I think Julio did it last year in the offseason as well.

Based on my research it seems to be everywhere but Grindr and farmersonly.com

Obviously the Deshaun trade is immanent

But right before the draft they had the QB ranked below: The one you're bringing up was from week 1 of 2019 college season. Player rankings change as they are scouted more. Above final list before the draft seems fine compared to others.

I really don't see us dropping Paradis. Dude looked better in year 2 compared to year 1. Like @*FreeFua* said above, we can't go into next season replacing 4/5 linemen. We're in trouble enough as it is with Moton's uncertainty, no left tackle, and no real starting caliber guards on the roster.

I was worried he wasn't good enough to win, but just good enough to take us out of the running for a top QB Prospect. I think that was the right assessment.
