Having said that, if he gets his mental shit together that's a steal. He has had his whole life to get his mental shit together. Some guys are just bad guys. Zach Evans is a first class asshole who thinks the world owes him something. He’s always had people around him telling him the same thing. If he’s not out of football in 3 years, it will be because the XFL is still alive. He was an absolutely wasted pick no matter who took him and no matter when they took him. 1 hour ago, ousux said: Wonder if that little culture rant he had back in '21 is coming back to haunt him? Plenty of NFL teams have closets full of skeletons..they just want players who take their paycheck and do what's asked and not rock the boat. His physical was a far bigger issue than anything. I’m betting the “little culture rant he had back in ‘21” was wholly fucking irrelevant.

April 30, 20232 yr Author The WR depth in the draft was underwhelming. Not sure what to expect from the early QBs in this draft either. Seems like quite a few pass rushers and tight ends from this draft will contribute during the 2023 season though.

April 30, 20232 yr I only saw him play once. It was on SNF against the Chiefs. He might have been one of the worst QBs I have seen play the pro game. KC had zero business winning that game but they did because he was so bad and they stuck around. And they used a 3rd round pick on him. I've seen undrafted guys Dallas has rolled out that looked better. No idea why they took him that high but they know he's very bad. And bailed asap. I get similar vibes of the Richardson guy from Florida. Indy drafted him. He is terrible at passing. His legs make him somewhat of a threat but that's it. Richardson had a lot of trouble reading college defenses. They used a very high pick to get this guy. AFC South has a very interesting mix of QBs. TLaw, Levis, Bryce Young, Richardson. TLaw is head and shoulders above them. And a few of them could be very bad.Completely off topic. But here is the best write up you will get on mazi. https://mgoblog.com/content/so-you-wanna-draft-wolverine-mazi-smithShould be one on schoon in there too. https://mgoblog.com/content/so-you-wanna-draft-wolverine-luke-schoonmakerI absolutely loved shoon as a player. May have been a bit of a reach to Dallas. but I would have loved him as a lion. Everyone was so hyped on Eric all but schoon just made fucking plays.
April 30, 20232 yr Pretty good draft for the Horns. Bijan went top 10, and everybody we thought would get drafted, got drafted. I think Cook played well enough as a senior to get drafted, but here we are. When Jamison started losing playing time to younger players, I knew it was pretty unlikely he'd get his name called.
April 30, 20232 yr Wtf is that order? The order that ESPN thought they would get drafted via their draft grade score.
April 30, 20232 yr 21 hours ago, Saint Tacky said: At this point, it's probably better not to be drafted and to cherry-pick the best of any offers as a UFA. Watching UDFA signings, salaries, and contracts last night and today. They’re making more and more money than most late round picks. I believe we are going to see smarter NFL teams shifting away from UDFAs by making more of an effort to aggregate late round picks to leverage the salary scale and avoid overpaying for talent that may or may not make the roster. Wouldn’t be surprised to see the NFL add a couple of rounds back to the draft as well.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see the NFL add a couple of rounds back to the draft as well. The NFLPA will not agree to additional draft rounds. Half the league is undrafted. UDFAs are a cheap date in the overall scheme of things and give a team better opportunities to find those diamonds in the rough. Cowboys are as good as any team in this area.

Either someone hates Texas in the film editing room, or the edict is to show Texas a lot to generate interest. I can’t decide whether I’m mad or flattered. One of the highlights for a defensive pick showed a play against us that featured Keontay Ingram.
May 1, 20232 yr The last person drafted will have a 4 year contract, make $768k and a $78k signing bonus. A UDFA if they make the team has a 3 year contract. They will earn a minimum rookie salary of $750k. Teams allocate UDFA signing bonuses as they see fit, but are limited to a total pool of $180-200k.
May 1, 20232 yr Yes, getting drafted is still better money and contract-wise, even for the later rounds. The only advantage of being a udfa is you have more choice in which team you go to...unless there is only one willing to give you a shot.
May 1, 20232 yr Most of these players in R7 and UDFAs will either be released and on the PS or released and done. You gotta make the 53. Long term if you make the 53 and are decent you’ll make that difference up with having only a 3 year deal.
May 1, 20232 yr Estimated contract values for the Longhorns drafted: Bijan (R1/P8): total - $21,958,535 / bonus - $12,969,844 DMO (R3/P27): total - $5,390,027 / bonus - $920,019 RoJo (R4/P13): total - $4,608,688 / bonus - $768,688 Snacks (R6/P17): total - $4,016,615 / bonus - $176,615 Ojomo (R7/P32): total - $3,917,777 / bonus - $77,777 Source: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/draft/

Bijan will get the full amount of his contract, but all the other guys will need to make the roster this year and stay on, otherwise they’ll only get the signing bonus plus a little extra. DMO and RoJo are safe to make the roster in Year 1, at least, but Coburn and Ojomo could only get their signing bonus and then be fighting to make a practice squad for $277k per year.
May 1, 20232 yr ^^^ That’s one of the reasons that the NFL will consider expanding the draft a few rounds. A lot of the UDFAs are getting more in guarantees than the 7th rounders and even even some of the 6th rounders.

Bigger issue is UDFAs get to the second contract faster. 7th rounders have to wait another year.
May 1, 20232 yr ^^^ That’s one of the reasons that the NFL will consider expanding the draft a few rounds.

The last kid drafted will get a signing bonus of $78k and a salary of $768k if they make the 53. The salary for a UDFA if they make the team is $750k, and a signing bonus. All UDFAs are paid out of a single pool of $160-200k total, from which teams can allocate as they wish to their players. So far the Cowboys have 13 UDFAs signed. If their pool is $200k that averages a $15k bonus each. Plus the NFLPA will never agree to more rounds, and the owners don’t want more than 7 either. It’s been almost 30 years since they went from 12 to 7. It’s gone from 9 to 10 to 12 to 13 to 20 to 32 to 17 to 12 to 7.

Can’t find 2023 but here’s an article re: 2022 https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stat-analysis/2022/value-undrafted-free-agents When the Cowboys signed the Collins kid out of LSU who became a wrongly accused murder suspect the week before the draft, they fully guaranteed at least the first year.
May 2, 20232 yr The signing bonuses average $9-11k out of the pool. If a UDFA makes the 53 they get a $750k rookie salary, or $44k a week. The bigger guarantee a team might give a player have to come from salary. If they get released and signed to a practice squad contract by they start over and get Iike $12k a week. Only some of the ps players last 18 weeks; others are on and off as team needs and injuries occur. Based on your article players are generally more likely to make a squad by being drafted. It will be interesting to see how many USFL/XFL players are signed.
