depends on the talent in the draft.. tackle and pass rushers give you great return on value
easier now, with the rookie contracts changing.. look at the raiders who got stuck with all those terrible picks high in the draft on those terrible contracts
you can take other positions top 10 now, with the rookie contracts changed

NBA drafts are heavily front loaded so tanking works, NFL has more even talent in the 1st round as a whole

The only time tanking is logical is if its Andrew Luck. The NFL's entire draft is more even.
Yeah agreed, the NBA is typically top 5 or bust to look for a franchise changing player.

the nature of football isn't really conducive to tanking.. way too many busts in the top 10, even the supposed 'safe' picks have that possibility in em (see Robert gallery)
best you can do is just keep key players out for smaller injuries or injuries they could possible play through
but with the health risk guys are running, you're asking a lot of em to just lay down
browns this year are probably closest a team will come to that though (or maybe the colts the luck year)

I like my guy Blount but even though he's having a career year,dude is almost 30. I'll be heated if Hoody doesn't pick up a RB out of this crazy deep class...
*Damn didn't realize he actually turned 30 today

I don't completely agree the draft is more even.. but then it depends on the draft and the position of need
but before a top 10 pick could be considered a legit burden if you didn't hit on that pick.. and you kinda had to at least hit a double to get value on the pick
like certain guys as soon as they were drafted top 10, were the highest paid guys for their position (Vernon davis).. then the QBs especially those contracts were getting absurd and it was going up every year

Def. agree with this. Most of the time, the talent is usually only in the top of the first round. Sometimes you will find talent in the late first round, or even 2nd round. But usually there's going to be 3-5 guys in an NBA who'll give a contribution to their team or even have a long career.
As someone said earlier, there's way more value to be found in the entire first round and all throughout the draft. There's just so many rounds and draft choices. It only makes sense in a probability perspective.
But if there's a standout talent, like an Andrew Luck then yes, tanking does make sense. But how often does that ever happen?
I suppose Winston could be a consideration.

but it's just the nature of the 2 sports where a single guy can have a far greater impact on the overall outcome of the game.. LeBron in his say 35 mins per game is going play offense and defense
the greatest QB in the history of the league is only going play 1 side of the ball.. and will at least need serviceable enough guys around him

i need to look back at those. i can't remember my exact take but i believe he was my favorite QB in the class. i probably said he wasn't worth a top 10 pick (neither him nor Jameis).
half right i guess. but wasn't really a bold take

^ it's what we do..
imagine if peyton and all the hype that came with him, had his rookie season today:
56% completion percentage
6.5 yards per attempt
28 INTs

Hopefully JC renegotiates his contract, and leaves money to pay both. Poe might be odd man out with his replacements playing well, and his scary *** back issues
EB ain't going anywhere though

i'd lump in bill. refuse to believe bill works with a restriction on spending that far below others
but yeah. wasting Brady's remaining years by getting "value" guys. Brady can cover it up for the most part.
