Maybe, but we have to begin to do better than 7th round players especially at positions we are known to recruit well and the expertise of the head coach.Thought NIL would fix this stupidity. Lee and Cohen would've been great to have back for their final year of eligibility.
Can’t really blame Lee. He has back issues that won’t allow him to have a long career. He had to cash in when he could.Thought NIL would fix this stupidity. Lee and Cohen would've been great to have back for their final year of eligibility.
Seems like it, but I doubt it.Can’t really blame Lee. He has back issues that won’t allow him to have a long career. He had to cash in when he could.
Taylor, Williams, Cohen all could have leveraged NIL to stick around and get better.
Are we the only team that suffers from this epidemic of borderline players thinking they are better then they are and leaving early?
Somebody here argued the last year that none of these guys were going in the first two rounds, but I was told mock drafts said different.Taylor should have stayed
He made a very bad decision IMHO. One that he will most likely regret for a long, long time.Taylor should have stayed

Just crazy, Half to assume all these guys could have got $200-500K in NIL + another year to get better tape for NFL.Can’t really blame Lee. He has back issues that won’t allow him to have a long career. He had to cash in when he could.

Did I miss something on cohen why didn’t he get drafted at all they had him ranked above a bunch of guardsCan’t really blame Lee. He has back issues that won’t allow him to have a long career. He had to cash in when he could.

I think in the NIL era you better be **** sure you're gonna get drafted. And is that money guaranteed upfront? If you're say a 6th rounder that gets cut? True a lot of those guys make the practice squad with someone. But I don't really see how Taylor and Cohen helped themselves this weekend.I don’t get how people can’t understand why these kids come out early even if they’re low draft picks. The NFL minimum for 2024 is just shy of $800,000. That’s not a bad start at all, and a lot of these guys are one injury away from not getting a shot. Zero guarantee they come back, stay healthy and significantly upgrade their draft stock.

If you're an UDFA then that's your most realistic destination. Sometimes teams like a guy so much they'll offer guaranteed money and a signing bonus but that's probably not gonna match what someone like Taylor or Cohen could have gotten with NIL. It's a f- up any way you slice it. Practice squad pay is complicated because it's weekly, and it changes if you get called up to the active roster. Like I said, you better be **** sure you're gonna get drafted.If you’re talking practice squad, then yeah it might have been better to stay. I’m speaking of the minimum salary of guys that actually make a roster, and even low round draft picks have a good chance of at least doing that.
