DaveA1102 Walk On

Being from the UK, I can bet on the NFL fairly freely (although with little success for the most part! haha) but I saw the betting for Offensive Rookie of the Year last week and Big Q was way down the list at 250/1! 

 

I know a guard is unlikely to win this but it is not like we have a Deshaun Watson lighting up the league this year so I stuck a cheeky £5 on, which would net me £1,255 in return (c$1,600).

 

Am I mad or does this seem high odds for someone who is beginning to dominate and a line that is getting a lot of mainstream coverage?  Surely his only real competition would be Saquon or Baker Mayfield in terms of impact on their respective teams and I would not say either of them have been as consistent, although you could argue Nelson had a slow start in terms of expectations.

I don't think OL win OROY awards.

 

It will almost certainly be Barkley.  

 

Sorry but I think you wasted 5 quid.

 

It wont be the first time! haha

 

Although I did have £20 on Luck to win Comeback Player of the Year before the season started so that looks good to bring in £120 as we stand.....might just cover my other losses. :headspin:

OL never win awards no matter how dominant they may be. I think they should add like a “Joe Thomas” award or something that goes to the best OL each year

 

The Joe Thomas award would be an award for the most elite player on a team picking in the top 5.  

 

But I actually agree with you, they should do awards based on position.  Because despite how important they are to the actual game, OL never wins awards.  And any top performing QB is going to rack up the awards and then if you don't have a real dominate QB then a RB will get it.

 

Which is actually kind of strange when you look at pay for OL.  GM's know how important OL is.  But the people who vote on awards apparently don't.

      Chris Ballard on Pat McAfee Show about the draft

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      I think based on how they run this defense and player importance.  I truly believe that Murphy and Mitchell could have the same grade, but he is man corner and Murphy is a 3 tech. The 3tech is like the qb of this defense. Everything runs through him. Murphy would have been the pick and I could have lived with that. I really wonder what the Colts offered to move up ?  We will probably find out some day. I bet if it was as low as # 4, I bet it was this years #15 and 2 other 1st rounders.

      They couldn't have known they were the only ones interested in Penix though. I had heard that LV was also interested, but there's always rumors at this time.   No guarantee there will be a QB they like as much as Penix next year, or the following year. Looking at the premium picks it required to get QB 4-6 in this draft, it could be a really steep price to move from the mid 20s to get a QB too.    I guess if they think they can be a playoff team with Cousins for 2-3 years, then there is some logic to making sure you get the guy when you can. Plus, Penix is a bit of a developmental prospect, so Cousins buys time for him to develop, while also allowing them to compete/contend. It's dual paths.   I don't know if I see a collision course with Cousins. He's a really good QB and he will be the starter for at least the next two years (first two seasons are both gtd), but prob 3 years. I am sure that is understood in the locker room. After that, they re-evaluate and there's a chance they are able to make a smooth transition. Plus the young skill position players will be in their primes and in a better position to support a young QB.   It's an interesting approach. No idea if it will work ahd might be overkill. But it's far better than running out Desmond Ridder and Marcus Mariota. I just don't see passing on Latu, Odunze, Murphy, etc. as some move that will drastically alter the franchise three years from now.

      Yeah, I don't think a lot of teams wanted to budge who were in the top 10. I know Lombardi said they were 12 first rounders and Ballard said 19-21. Maybe Lombardi was more right and teams just didn't want to get out of the top 12-15 spots?

      Rookie numbers?

      You know that saying... The player makes the number, the number doesn't make the player.

      When you do sit back and analyze the draft most of the picks in front of the Colts make sense. 1) Williams. Not a fan of  the player but I get it. 2) Daniels- Need a qb and #2 rated qb 3) Maye-I think the Giants and another team wanted him bad but Patriots just decided to get him and not move back. 4)They needed to pair Harrison with the midget and justify that stupid contract they gave Murray. Give Murray the most polished and tallest receiver in the draft lol.  5)Harbaugh loves the trenches and  wouldn't pass on Ault. Look at Harbaugh's history in building a team.  6) I think the Giants really wanted Maye and were trying to move up but Patriots were not budging. They picked best player available in Nabors and hoping it will help Jones and it wont. 7) Need to protect Levis as the GM picked him last year and need to see if he is the guy 8)Now this is where it went off the rails and stupidest pick in NFL history I think. I had the best D player going here 9) They wanted to pair the 3rd best wr on their board with Williams and I called it when people said the Colts would trade with the Bears and grab a receiver at #9. I get it but would have picked Murphy as it is a perfect fit for Eberflus' defense.  10) Minny loves McCarthy and moved up one spot to make sure they got him. 11) Picked best OT on the board as they need to protect Rodgers upright as the coach and GM will be gone if they dont make the play offs 12) If he was still there, Nix is a perfect qb for what Sean wants 13)Bowers is elite but luxury pick. I would have went best D player on the board. They drafted a tight end high last year. I thought a dumb pick 14) Saints could have picked best player and they went Oline so cannot fault him 15) Ballard should have bought a lottery ticket the day of the draft because Latu fell into his lap. No need to think it over just turn the card!
