NFL Draft over. Teams reloaded. Maybe. here is what I find interesting about the draft: No draft is full of sure fire first rounders. The media acts like it is, but it is not. Every team thinks they got a winner. But history proves that to be wrong. Lions took Jameson Williams at 12 ;ast year. He’s currently suspended for gambling after not playing for the majority of the season. Ravens took Kyle Hamilton at 14… And just Signed Rock Ya-Sin today to take that man’s spot. Trent McDuffie (Chiefs @21) was exposed all season. Go back a little further to 2021 and you see that a lot of the players are practically busts. Zach Wilson, drafted #2? Jets leveraged their future to get old Rodgers to come in and win some games. It isn’t a surefire thing. Madden puts an emphasis on round 2 talent and round one top 10, which makes a kind of sense. However, real life isn’t built like a video game. In truth we are talking about schemes and people who, in the face of gaining sudden wealth, have to decide to be the same people they were prior to that wealth–have the same drive if not more. This is a difficult thing to say the least, and you never know who is going to be real.
Some Thoughts:
- Interesting one that touches home a little. Klutch sports just bought out Elite Management, which is the company that sponsors the 7s team my kid is trying to join and the youth tackle team that has been tops in the state for years. Now LeBron’s people done bought them out. Don’t know what that changes locally. Hopefully nothing.
