bosa would be good seeing as how the cardinals whiffed on nkemdiche. the raiders have the picks to move up but i'm not so sure it's worth it when they have the 4th overall. we just have to see how it plays out.

I think if you're kyler murray and you just assume you're going to be good then it's the nfl no question

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/josh-rosen-25105/cash-earnings/

middle of the pack first round pick, 17.6MM over 4 years

https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/arizona-diamondbacks/luke-weaver-17703/cash-earnings/

lower middle of the pack first round pick, 2.6MM over 4 years plus 2 more years of team control at close to minimum salary (so another 1-2MM) plus 3 years of arbitration which is a salary bump but is basically bullshit in terms of fair value and you are stuck with the team.

murray got a 5MM bonus so you can crank that up to 5,831,829 which is still poo poo compared to the nfl. actually the 15MM request might have been spot on just from working back from that math from the nfl side plus the mlb's minimum salaries.

the big issue with arizona is coaching. their line was bad even after they signed all those free agents a while ago.

from a player standpoint they got rid of iupati and aq shipley is old and tore his acl and they never really replaced veldheer so that's RT/G/maybe C they need starters at. I'm fine if they stand pat with the draft spots they have now and the good free agents available slip through their hands but they need to start being average instead of underachieving.

matt asiata ran a 4.81 but was also undrafted

quote:


“I think that his height was inflated,'” an unnamed scout told Dan Patrick on Tuesday, and Dan relayed the story on the Wednesday edition of his show. “‘Maybe it’s the tin-foil hat theory. I just don’t see it. If he refuses to be measured at the Pro Day, that will be telling.'”

It’s definitely a tin-foil hat theory, but with so much gold riding on individual draft position, who knows that prospects may do to warp reality? As to Murray’s weight, Chris Simms suggested last week that Murray possibly opted not to work out at the Combine because he focused on packing on as many pounds as possible, and that Murray will turn his attention to shedding the weight and running as fast as possible at his Pro Day workout.

lol

Doing this is a bullshit way to game the system and should be called out. Of course it’s the player’s choice to participate in these things so if they want to do this you can’t force them, but scouts should definitely factor this in.

The height thing is crazy though. Murray’s height is one of the most scrutinized draft things in years. I can’t imagine he would find a way to game the system there with so many people interested in his height.

he probably hung upside down like spiderman the week before, is my theory

having 4 qbs there is a recipe for one of them not getting picked, although i also don't know why you'd have 3 there either.
