I bet the TE positional value starts surging upward over the next 2-3 years.

After QB, LT, and Edge Rusher, it just comes down to what positions you need the most from to win consistently. That’s not the same on every team because of differences in schemes and coaching styles.

Interesting numbers. In your opinion, would you say it’s “smarter” to draft the expensive positions (CB, WR, DE) and sign free agents at the cheaper positions (TE, OC, RB)? I’m not including QB because that’s different. It seems like we take an opposite approach. We draft centers and trade/pay receivers.

Is fullback part of running back? If so then the fullbacks are dragging the running backs numbers down. Or is fullback it's own thing and you just left them out?


Good info though.
Is info it's own word now are do we still need to put a period behind info to signify it's an abbreviation?

Let's hope this draft won't see us drafting strictly to fulfill needs. Let's face it -- we've gotten into trouble doing so in the past. We have enough needs to pick the best players available at those positions and still manage to better ourselves greatly in doing so. Hopefully, we'll follow McCarthy's policy of sticking to the most talented players at the positions most suited to our requirements. May this draft prove to be our best friend in 2020!

 

[DFWJC]

1. QB
2. Edge DE/OLB
3. LT
4. WR1
5. CB1
6. DT1
7. RB
8. FS
9. WLB
10. RT
11. WR2
12. DT2
13. TE
14. MLB
15. SDE
    
16. C
17. OG1
18. CB2
19. SS
20. OG2
21. SLB
22. WR3

just a stab at it.

For example.... big "WR" money means for WR1 or maybe somewhat to WR2.....not all three.

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

1. QB
2. Receiving threat WR/TE
3. OT

10. NT
11. Offball LB
12. Box safety
13. Receiving RB
