Found this quote by Josh Harris fairly interesting.

It’s from 2015, but it shows his mindset.

This runs parallel to what we’ve learned about his leadership style — hire the right people and let them cook. #HTTC pic.twitter.com/wgZiogBwK6

There is some long term value to being drafted vs undrafted but with the udfa signings now finalized it looks like being a premier udfa is arguably better than being drafted in 6th or 7th round.

— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) May 14, 2023

For premier I’m using top 32 guaranteed. Next 33 to 64 is better or same guarantee as most in the 7th

We see how important draft capital is every time a first or second round bust is given 3-8 other chances around the league before it’s over.

But I’m not sure 6th rounder v UDFA carries the same weight or much of one at all.

— YardsAfterContract (@after_yards) May 14, 2023

A 6th usually does. More ps or active roster chances. A 7th is less of a benefit

— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) May 14, 2023

Do you think future CBAs will prevent this sort of payment where UDFAs can be paid more than drafted players or not a big enough issue to address?

— YardsAfterContract (@after_yards) May 14, 2023

No. I think at some point the union or agents need to take it upon themselves to start to push for more for their draft picks. Too much willingness to sign quickly

Traditionally the @NFL paid players weekly. So we got paid for 18 weeks then nothing until the following season. That sudden spike caused players to develop poor spending habits.

(Google your favorite players yearly salary divide by 18*.50 (taxes) and see how big some of the…

JMO but I think for younger players in the NFL this is a good thing. For those who are older I think there could be logic in having an opt-in/opt out to determine how often paid. Could also have agent negotiate different pay terms/mechanisms.

— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) May 13, 2023

I agree with your take. Maybe you can opt out after your rookie contract

“The most powerful variable in predicting an NFL WR’s success is their draft pick.

The college breakout age is the 2nd most important variable, but possesses less than half the power of draft capital.

We should trust the guys who do this for a living!”
