This is just not true anymore and I wish people would realize this. With the new pay scale, the 9th pick will get around 12 million total, on 4 years.

Throw out most of the old ideas about reaches/positions at what spot in the draft etc.

GM's and teams can now take risks more easily and due to this, the draft is probably going to be insane this year with trades, etc.

and then the inevitable tens of millions of dollars worth of a contract extension this team likes to give out like candy to linebackers

somehow I think that money would be better allocated to a DL with the potential to be elite, because you can't find elite DLs in free agency for 12 million. But you can sign a linebacker that can rack up 100 tackles in a season for much less than that. We just signed one last year.

The rookie cap is now in place which means teams will become more risky. this doesn't mean teams are going to be more willing to draft kickers and punters in the first round. This only means teams will be more willing to take chances on QBs with more potential than polish for example. Less stigma if a franchise player doesn't pan out.

Why you guys hating on sports science? The reason these guys look impressive is because THEY ARE. They only pick great athletes to feature never an average bum.

I'm not hating on it. I find it very enjoyable. But people are being ridiculous if they put too much stock in it. Their numbers are unrealistic and flawed.

Does Kuechly hitting as hard as 3280lbs of force sound remotely realistic to you?

I'm a huge Luke fan by the way. Not bashing him. But perspective needs to be used for this. SS is a great interesting thing ESPN has but nobody should put too much stock into it.

False. Jimmy Graham will burn and has burned any LBer in the league. Lets hear more about how he will keep Graham in front of him and tackle 12 yards down the field though. See other Koochy thread for more details.

Graham has had one good season.....and got to play Carolina and Tampas D twice each. That is 1/4 of his schedule against garbage. Also had tons of other pathetic Ds to play against. he is good.....he isn't an all time great and uncoverable as you suggest

I am the guy who says if you draft Luke....he will find his way into a starting role. We have no OLB..... A questionable MLB..... And JAG at SLB.
