It’s disingenuous to act like Colorado running off 53 scholarship players is normal offseason churn.

Max’s story was the first time these players — who were literally called “old furniture” that needed to get thrown out by Deion Sanders — have been humanized and listened to.

New 2025 Mock Draft dropped from Dane Brugler

Players in next year’s first round:

Michigan - 3
Penn State - 2
Ohio State - 2

This is a year removed from two RB’s going in the first 12 picks.

Just noticed the draft shows went from 38k to 85k in one year

that is insane, guys. congratulations. truly awesome to see

I am increasingly of the opinion that the discount for future picks should be at or near zero.

There is no inflation, interest or expected positive investment returns in draft capital, so there is not a present value argument the way there is with money.

In a no-discount…

Stars matter, obviously. But three things here...

1) You have to develop the talent once they get on campus
2) Maybe we struggled with recruiting rankings with COVID seasons having an impact
3) Ohio State could have a loaded 2025 draft class but the same was said about 2024

Of the eleven 5-stars from these three schools, only three have been drafted.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba
J.J. McCarthy

If you don’t know the backstory here, Nick Baumgardner did a story on Qwan’tez Stiggers last month.

The Lions traded up for a player that wasn’t on my consensus big board.

So…that’s something.

Howie is out here like biblical times walking around collecting other teams’ “have to have him” taxes

The Bears' process has been good the last two years but taking a punter in the fourth round when you have limited draft picks this season is bad for business.

A punter in the fourth round?

It was a bad trade but Miami is stockpiling all these open-field weapons. Good luck to defenses around the league.

Did the Steelers hire Jim Harbaugh this off-season?

Eagles just keep on winning.

Cardinals getting some real speed in the secondary.
