Dude went at 13. That isn't even much of a dip. And he went out and took the heat like a man. I might even like him better now.
PS did I nail that Paxton Lynch to Denver call or what? That one surprised the he'll out of me, I was just hopeful wishing lol
I'm quite pleased with the Broncos taking Lynch. Now Sammy will shut the fuck up about wanting to be traded. Nobody wants to go to the Browns, or the Jets.
You're wrong about "not even much of a dip" tho. Qualitatively, sure, it's no big deal that you dropped from a top ten pick to 13th overall. Bit of an ego hit, but you're still a first rounder right?
Unfortunately, quantitatively, the kid could have gone as early as 3rd overall, and definitely by 6th overall where the Ravens selected another OT. Those picks will sign contracts worth 21-26.5M dollars. Miami took him at 13, where he'll make $12.8M over 4 years. So that social media stuff cost him roughly 8-14M bucks.
I know it's still a lot of money to make, but if you went in for a job interview with the only company in your industry, and then some relative walked in during your interview wearing a clown suit and threw a pie in your face, and then by the time you usher them out the door, the company is only willing to pay you half of what you expected to make? I'd be killing a fucking clown.
