Miller was a 3rd round pick...
Not a big difference.

Big difference in draft capital.

 

[Artifactual]

No one is going to put a PK with a groin issue and a single year of experience on their 53. He's clearing waivers.

It's been a strange offseason with some posters here measuring both Smyth and Haener for a gold HOF jacket before they even play in a regular season game.

 

[TribuneUK]

looks like they are cutting the entire team that played vs TENN. (less Ratt and Jake)

That's basically it. The last week of preseason is usually players auditioning for their next team.

Hergel deserved to be on the roster.

 

[St. Widge]

Big difference in draft capital.

They were picked about 30 picks apart. That's not a huge difference.

 

[RJS]

Hergel deserved to be on the roster.

He might still be on the practice squad.

[gregh]

Hope they slide nobody on the practice squad

Abram is a surprise, I figured he was in talks to start

 

[Snakehead]

30 picks, but it crosses from round 3 to 4, that's the difference. Check the draft pick trade value of a 3rd round pick vs a 4th round pick.

Abram is a surprise, I figured he was in talks to start

I'm not a fan. He's a coverage liability in today's NFL. He would have made a great Safety in the 1980s.

 

[SAINTSFAN]

Abram is a surprise, I figured he was in talks to start

Wow! I honestly thought he would be the starter. Howden has not looked good at all.

 

[IceHot]

Last I saw, less than 25% of third round picks become starters in the NFL.

I think the fourth round pick starter rate was something like 7-10%.

My understanding is that its all a crap shoot ....Even approx. 50% of 1st Round players dont continue from their rookie contract with the team that drafted them.

Apparently only about 8% of the draft plays above analytics replacement value.

The draft is just lottery tickets, and the earlier the round just means you know a couple more numbers before you have to guess the rest than the later rounds.
