Brett Veach's blunder: drafted GK & FAU over Seahawks' Mafe & D.Hall — In 2022 & 2023 Draft, teams over-drafted edge rushers in the first round: 5 first round ED in 22 class & 7 (!!) first round ED in 23 class.
Veach got impatient to spend B2B late first round picks on Karlaftis & FAU, while Seattle spent B2B early second round picks on Mafe & D.Hall.
2~3 years later, Seahawks edge duos have outperformed Chiefs edge duos……FAU isn’t even in the chart since he is just an ED4/5, only playing < 20 defensive snaps per game.
Veach’s DL evaluation is poor……
I may be a biased Razorback fan but… if we need someone who gets open and makes contested catches.
FAU’s pass rush is really terrible — Only two 2023 first rounders are in 3rd axiom: Lukas Van Ness & FAU.
Danna Overpaid — His contract isn’t cuttable until 2026.
Low efficiency for his entire career. Can’t even stay healthy now.
Our blindside edge pass rush is hampered due to Danna.

2023 Pro Bowl Rosters by PFF Grade Only — Pro Bowl rosters are always a popularity contest, but it has a big effect on players. Selections could mean more money in free agency, more pay based on incentives, etc. Below are both the AFC & NFC Pro Bowl rosters based on PFF grade.
Instead of using "defensive end", "outside linebacker", & "inside linebacker", I am using EDGE (lines up on D-Line) and Linebacker (off-ball). Otherwise, you have an entire team of pass rushers who get in. I'm glad that the All-Pro team has changed this, but the

This is the post everybody wanted. This is the one everybody has been on the edge of their seats for. No, I’m not ranking QBs today (fuck QBs). I’m not doing defensive ends or total offenses, or any of that weaksauce shit. I’m doing one for the REAL football heads and I’m gonna write a bunch of bullshit about fullbacks in mid-June and then probably commit myself to a psychiatric institution. .

Replicating the Impact of the NBA Draft to the NFL — The NBA draft is broken. It's because only 5 players are on the court at a time. A single rookie, whether it be LeBron, Michael, or Kobe, can have an enormous impact on the court. One single rookie is 20% of the starting lineup. In the NFL, one single rookie (assuming they start) is playing less than 10% of snaps. If you factor in the fact that basketball players are playing both offense and defense, that number actually reduces to less than 5% of snaps.
What if we fixed that? In this absurd sc

### Introduction
If the Miami Dolphins 2018 season was a hot mess, then the Miami Dolphins 2019 *off-season* was ... well, to be honest, no one really knows. If you didn't see any headlines about the Dolphins this last offseason, then you weren't dreaming or hallucinating. Nope, the Dolphins were solidly everywhere and nowhere all at the same time. It was both vivid sanity and lucid insanity. I
[OC] Draft Picks and Roster Retention — Yesterday, someone [posted](https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/axonva/graziano_number_of_giants_draft_picks_by_year_who/) a tweet showing how many of the Giants' draft picks remain on the roster today. Naturally, I wondered how much continuity each team has. So, expanding on that post, here's every team's draft picks currently on their active roster.

### Introduction
This was maybe one of the Miami Dolphins' most decisive seasons in the last ten years; that is to say, we decisively had our hopes dashed, crushed, and broken down into a fine powder. We won every single one of the games we weren't supposed to win, and lost literally everything else.
If last season was the season of small victories, this was the season of small defeats

*Cleveland Browns*: This is probably the best head coach job offering that will be on the market this year, with a young franchise QB in Baker Mayfield and improving team in general
