There have been at least 3 quarterbacks drafted in the 1st Round in 8 of the last 9 years. For context from 1967-2001 there were only 6 years when 3+ QBs were taken in the 1st Round.

Now that the NFL draft is four days away, this is the closest to the start of it that there have been no trades for first-round picks in the Common Draft Era, per ESPN’s Evan Kaplan. The Joe Montana trade in 1993 came five days before the draft; this year now has surpassed that.

With Shedeur Sanders, Tyler Shough and Jalen Milroe still on the board (among others).. The last time there were multiple QBs selected in the 2nd Round was 2014.

Thanks bill hofheimer, the Draft is always my favorite event on the NFL calendar, largely because we have such a great team working on it. Year 12 in the books.

Browns coaching connections for Shedeur Sanders: Head coach Kevin Stefanski > assistant under Mike Zimmer on 2014-19 Vikings > Deion's DB coach on 1995-99 Cowboys QB coach Bill Musgrave > assistant under George Seifert on 1999-00 Panthers > Deion's head coach on 1994 49ers

Worked on a bunch of George Pickens/Cowboys notes today and this one stuck out the most. CeeDee Lamb had 2,027 MORE receiving yards than any other Cowboys WR in the last 2 seasons (Brandin Cooks).

Always a good sign when an All-Pro responds to one of my notes. 4 of those 6 games are at home for the Cowboys…road games in Detroit and Washington.

Seems like the writing is on the wall with banning the tush push…but how is the previous rule until 2005 the “gotcha” argument? Rules are changed in every sport on a yearly basis. The notion that it should be banned because it previously wasn’t allowed is a strange one.

Since the NFL went to 17 games in 2021, 55 of the 56 playoff teams had a winning record that season (only exception was the 2022 Buccaneers). Last season all 14 playoff teams won at least 10 games.

In last season’s wild-card round, the Eagles beat the Packers 22-10. And as Evan Kaplan points out, 22-10 also was the tally on today’s tush push vote.

It is scary being an American Jew right now. We go to synagogues that are fortified with armed guards and police. Kids go to schools that have layers of security. Campuses and cities are filled with antisemitism. This isn't the world I grew up in. It's disgusting and

This Eastern Conference Finals has been as good as it gets through 3 games. Pacers shock the Knicks in Game 1, Knicks shock the Pacers in Game 3. Both on the road. Plenty more twists and turns in this series.

Sports can be so beautiful and powerful. If you don’t know the story of PSG coach Luis Enrique and his daughter, I encourage you to read about it.

QBR incorporates the value a QB brings on each play and accounts for things like rushing, sacks taken, fumbles, down and throw distance. It also adjusted for the strength of the opposing defense the QB is facing (unlike passer rating).

Aaron Rodgers and Mike Tomlin both lost in the 2016 NFC/AFC Championship Games. Career Playoff W-L Until 2016 Champ Game - Rodgers: 9-6 (1 SB win) - Tomlin: 8-5 (1 SB win) Playoff W-L Starting with 2016 Champ Game - Rodgers: 2-4 - Tomlin: 0-6

Jefferson has gained all of those yards catching passes from 6 different QBs. The Vikings and their fans hoping another J.J. will provide consistency at QB for the next decade.
