Northwestern with first rounder!!! Way to go for the purple. I also thought it was kinda crazy that the Eagles went to the Super Bowl AND have a top ten pick AND that they would use it on a running back. What does anyone see in Will Levis that they did not see in Drew Lock, for good and for bad...
i wouldn’t use a top 10 on either one of them to be honest with you. Too big of a risk. Stroud seems ok, but the history with OSU QB’s isn’t that great. Young seems to be the sure thing, but his size is something to be concerned with.
Lock already failed so there is that. Levi’s to me is that guy you get in tge 3rd rd and may be surprised.
Florida qbs haven’t faired well either but I don’t put any stock in the school. The good ones come from all over and any round.
Yep. McShay revised his picks since this trade. He now has Richardson going #4 to Indy. 1. Carolina Panthers (via CHI) Bryce Young, QB, Alabama
McShay's revised 1st Round since Carolina traded up. 1. Carolina Panthers (via CHI) Bryce Young, QB, Alabama 2. Houston Texans C.J. Stroud, QB, Ohio State 3. Arizona Cardinals Will Anderson Jr., OLB, Alabama 4. Indianapolis Colts Anthony Richardson, QB, Florida 5. Seattle Seahawks (via DEN) Tyree Wilson, DE, Texas Tech 6. Detroit Lions (via LAR) Christian Gonzalez, CB, Oregon 7. Las Vegas Raiders Will Levis, QB, Kentucky 8. Atlanta Falcons Nolan Smith, OLB, Georgia 9. Chicago Bears (via CAR) Peter Skoronski, OT/G, Northwestern 10. Philadelphia Eagles (via NO) Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas
Let's say Richardson gets picked fourth in the first round...how much does he end up making, roughly? (I'm unaware of NFL salaries) Signing bonus: Yearly salary: Go Gators.
The GM for the Panthers was the director of college scouting for the Seahawks when they drafted Wilson…. I could definitely see them going with Young, because him and Wilson are very similar.
Here are the estimated contracts and signing bonuses for the first round selections of the 2022 NFL draft, according to sports contract monitoring site Spotrac. Each player selected in the first-round gets a four-year contract, and only signing bonuses are guaranteed. Pick No. 1 Total contract value: $41.4 million, signing bonus: $27.3 million Pick No. 2 Total contract value: $39.6 million, signing bonus: $25.9 million Pick No. 3 Total contract value: $38.4 million, signing bonus: $25.1 million Pick No. 4 Total contract value: $37 million, signing bonus: $24.1 million Pick No. 5 Total contract value: $34.6 million, signing bonus: $22.4 million Pick No. 6 Total contract value: $30.4 million, signing bonus: $19.3 million Pick No. 7 Total contract value: $27 million, signing bonus: $16.8 million Pick No. 8 Total contract value: $23.6 million, signing bonus: $14.4 million Pick No. 9 Total contract value: $23.5 million, signing bonus: $14.2 million Pick No. 10 Total contract value: $22.5 million, signing bonus: $13.6 million
Kid is set for life financially if he doesn’t mess it up. Why would anyone even consider coming back to college. Sure, he would be a better qb for it more than likely but who cares.
With that kind of money awaiting him you can see why he entered the draft and why he may have been protecting himself late season!
Holy crapenhiemer! That's a lotta jack. OMG. I had no idea it was that much $. Crazy. Thank you to ThePlayer, sick figures. Even after the agents cut you still are set. Shits and giggle calculation-If you get a $24 mil large signing bonus, (forget the agent right now) 5% return on that is $1.2 mil a year. Unless you go crazy entourage, fancy cars , massive homes you can live the rest of your life 'high on the hog' never touching the principle. Pay yourself a salary, live well, let your money work for you, and you can still have plenty of toys. Go Gators.
One more thing about Richardson, he played on a team with the new coaching staff... entirely new offense... and he only had 2 or 3 other starts in a different system. And I suspect that he was playing injured for much of the year. Imagine of he can stay healthy and he learns the offense? Also, for those that suspect that AR could NOT grasp Napier's offense. To his defense, some color commentators in various games mentioned how complex Napier's offense is. They said that Napier uses NFL concepts, NFL concepts that take much more time to learn than the short time AR had to learn it. Especially considering all the time and practice restrictions we have in the college game... In the NFL he can study an offense 24/7/365... all off season. I suspect that he will do much better than most people here think, but I do agree that his first year will probably be shaky. He will need some time to learn to be QB1 at the next level..
Don’t we stand more to gain as Gators to root for AR and claim him as a Gator and a Gville kid rather than the disdain and animosity about his effort? It just seems to me for recruiting /narrative about our fanbase etc - we stand more to gain by saying “we had a 1st rounder?
