RE: observations about player values...

Player ratings are not adjusted for injuries and character concerns. That was disclosed in the article that you all accessed to read the rankings and also discussed on my show at length! So Payton Wilson's ranking is simply a reflection of how good of a fit he is for Miami's anticipated scheme. It does not reflect positional value, age, injury history & medical flags, etc. Players are, however, flagged with a letter to indicate that there's a deeper issue with the player that may disqualify them from being picked in a certain pick range. (I said on today's show that I would not draft Wilson in the first two rounds, for example)

That same logic applies to Caleb Williams. Of course a quarterback needy team would preempt other players who are better pure grades because the positional value of a quarterback transcends the value of other players.

As far as Brian Thomas Jr. goes; he's a raw player IMO. 2/3rds of his production came from 3 routes: hitches, curls and fades. The grade is a reflection of the player that he is now and I would, in a draft scenario, field a discussion about him versus all other players in the same tier as him to try to determine the best big picture decision, be that a 1-year forecast or a 3-year forecast for a player. (This was also discussed on today's show!)

Hope you all have a great draft week and some of you can rest easy...I am indeed not running the draft on Thursday and Friday.

I’m an every day listener. It’s my team every day.

It’s a great listen. Keep up the great work because your modeling career might not take off.



Would be awesome if you found the time to post every so often.

 

[Dark Matter]

I listen to a number of podcasts on Phins and Kyle easily has the most in-depth analysis when it comes to potential draft picks. This is great reference resource and while I don't always agree with his opinions I do respect them.

Welcome Kyle! Great insight on today’s show from another every day listener. Stick around and post as your knowledge especially when it comes to the draft is fantastic.

Great to have you here Kyle.

[Blake the great]

I like that he based this on scheme fits.

 

[Dark Matter]

I like that he based this on scheme fits.

That's the key. It doesn't mean one player is necessarily better than the other. This is about who's the best player for the Dolphins.

 

[Springveldt]

That’s Travis Wingfield and I can’t listen to him.

Travis used to post here loads when he was basically a kid. I can still remember a post of his when he said his dream job would be to work for the Dolphins. Glad he made his dreams come true.

Great job! Thanks for posting.

I was looking at it as fit for Miamis scheme. So not sure where the confusion was lol.

Anyway, thanks again!

Kyle,

Thanks for posting. Love your podcasts. Regarding BTJ, I don't want to beat the horse into putty. With that said, did he not excel at other routes or is that simply all they asked of him? Curious your thoughts and the thoughts behind other WR's you have ranked above him. I think you touched on it a bit in the PC regarding a player like Pearsall being more plug and play in year one which helps with our win now window.

 

[Fin-Loco]

That’s Travis Wingfield and I can’t listen to him.

Why? He's a massively intelligent football mind who has the dream job we would all kill for. I think he's also done a very good job of not changing his outlook simply because the Phins now pay him. He's always been a glass half full guy, I guess that's why I like him.
