ADVICE

Draft Players, Not Positions

Make a player-first draft list and stick to it early in your draft.
Avoid drafting by position; prioritize the best available players instead.

ADVICE

Stash Cheap Upside Runners

Consider rostering late-round running backs you like and watching usage early in the season.
Take Jalen Wright in deep rounds as a cheap stash to monitor Miami's backfield.

INSIGHT

Herbert Is Underappreciated

Justin Herbert's 2024 passing volume wasn't as low as popular narratives claim.
Market sentiment has pushed Herbert's ADP well below where his talent and supporting offense justify.

Sig's Offenses We Might Be Wrong About:

5. What if the Eagles don’t get the perfect ride, and have to pass more?

4. What if the Cowboys are about to go back to being an efficient pass offense?

3. What if Ben Johnson can't immediately fix everything?

2. What if J.J. McCarthy isn't immediate plug-and-play?

1. What if things don't improve or even get worse in Miami?

Chris's Offenses We Might Be Wrong About:

5. What if the Colts figure out a way to be average in passing? Not a single WR in the top 45.

4. What if Stafford's back is about to turn that entire Rams offense to poop, a.k.a. Jimmy Garoppolo?

3. What if the Cowboys are telling us it's just Javonte Williams and we're not listening?

2. What if the true 49ers reared their head last year?

1. What if it's not automatic that the old Tampa and Detroit coordinators immediately make the Jags and Bears good?
