Didn’t he also have a DUI arrest near the draft along with a meh combine and interviews? I do remember him being mocked in top 10 at some point so he was a perfect guy to gamble on in round 2. D’oh.
In fairness that describes almost every defensive player from those Urban Myer teams.
I read some crazy stat about how many of the players on the 2006 (I think) Florida team have been arrested. Can’t remember it exactly but it was bananas.
Edit: it was 41 of 121 on the 2008 team.
Surprised it’s that low. That doesn’t even take into account that Percy Harvin would punch anyone and everyone in the face when given an opportunity. Teammate, staff, random people in bars, he was an equal opportunity puncher. Absolutely a nut house in Gainesville. Jimmy Johnson’s Hurricanes thought they were out of control.
It was Urban un-rule during my last round of studies in Gainesville. Tebow isn't given enough credit for being a diversion to being a diversion to the championship winning dumpster fire.
If we're grading on a curve, Hernandez had already shot a guy in the face before being drafted.

Do you know how hard it is for a big program college athlete to get actually arrested? 41 of 121 is like 119 of 121 for the general populace
And he kept the fun going in the NFL

In possible pass-catching target news, Hunter Henry will not be tagged

I find it hard to believe that someone could be both 315 pounds and shredded. Jacked, sure, but shredded implies cut and idk about all that
He is 6'6", but yeah "shredded" is probably not true. It is about 20lb less than what she was listed at in CHI (so maybe 25 or 30lbs reality) so I'd guess he's looking very lean.
He played at about 20-25lbs heavier than that, which suggests he's kept in good shape while recovering this past year. He only played in 30 games over his last 4 seasons, so if his body is right and ready again, he could be a useful pick-up for any number of teams.
In tangentially related news, Bears tagged Allen Robinson. Not a shock, but extension talks broke down during the season. He's probably not happy with the tag, but the Bears desperately needed to hold on to him despite the salary cap crunch it creates. Worth watching if Robinson holds out and/or tries to force a trade.
He actually got down into I think the 270s when he retired, so basically the lineman equivalent of the Gronk move, lose a ton of weight, then put about half of it back on as muscle as you build up to a return.

Comp picks announced. Looks like only two for the Pats (96 and 140). Did the Dolphins cutting Van Noy affect the formula?
edit: typo. 140, not 150.

This is mystifying. Beau Allen is considered but Elandon Roberts isn’t?

Allen contract was 2 years, $7 million vs. only 1 year, $2 million for Roberts, so that's not all that crazy to me. But Byrd was 1 year/$1.6 million. And Ebner 1 year/$2 million. So yeah, this formula makes no sense...

Good primer on it from Over the Cap. It's based on contract values.
Unless he is really great in 2021. It's not unfathomable Allen could cost the Pats $3 million and a 4th round pick while never playing a down.
After losing their regular 3rd round, not getting that other 4th really sucks.
OTC had Allen and Roberts counting but not Byrd.

Lance Zierlein thought it was clear the Patriots would get 3 picks

"For those interested in nitty-gritty of 2021 compensatory picks - and why the Patriots received just 2 and not 3 - this is what I've learned: It essentially came down to playing time and Elandon Roberts (knee) missing the Dolphins' finale meant he didn't qualify in the formula. " - Reiss
Screw you one last time Roberts

Can it really be playing time, if Beau Allen figures into the formula? Nobody who watches the Pats even knows if Beau is a real human being. Roberts was a lot more visible.
I read that % of snaps can bump up the value, but does not work in the other direction. Seems like a flaw but maybe not. If Brady (or KVN or Collins) tore their ACL in week 1 should the Pats not have gotten a pick? I’m not sure how I feel about that.
Thanks, I guess that makes sense - at least, to the extent that anything coming out of NFL HQ does.
So let's see if I have this correct. Being on IR does not disqualify someone but being inactive for 3 games does?
That makes no sense to me. I understand the reasoning behind the IR but 13 out of 16 games should not be a disqualification. Take the Brady example mentioned above, except instead of a torn ACL it is a less severe injury that keeps him out for 3 games. Or 2 games and then he sits the last week because it is doesn't matter. Then no comp pick?

No, it appears that the formula is primarily built on contracts, so someone like Brady is a comp pick no matter what, however on some of the edge cases they bump a guy up if he plays enough snaps. So Roberts, whose contract was minimal, might have gotten bumped up to mattering if he played enough snaps.
That makes sense to me, contract is the primary decider, but if you lose a guy to a low contract, but he plays like 40% of his new team's snaps (Roberts was just under) they take into account that perhaps his low salary wasn't reflective and move him in.

And Mitchell Schwartz too - will be interesting to see how the Chiefs rebuild the o-line with no cap space...

There are some suggestions Schwartz might retire, so that one certainly makes sense. Per Schefter, KC is still $3 million over the cap after the moves.
Will be very interesting to see if KC can keep this going. Winning twice is hard enough, let alone winning 6X
