    I came across this while messing around with an AI. I'm not sure about the accuracy of the info.


    Draft Year: 2025
    • Top Picks in Round 2 (Picks 33–37): ✅ 100% fully guaranteed (first time ever)
    • Mid–Late Round 2 (Picks 38–64): ⏳ Many holding out for full guarantees

    Draft Year: 2024
    • Top Picks in Round 2 (Picks 33–37): ~96% guaranteed (e.g. Keon Coleman at #33)
    • Mid–Late Round 2 (Picks 38–64): ~65–85% guaranteed, depending on position

    Draft Year: 2023
    • Top Picks in Round 2 (Picks 33–37): ~85–90% guaranteed
    • Mid–Late Round 2 (Picks 38–64): ~55–75% guaranteed (e.g. Joey Porter Jr. had ~70% in Year 4)

    Draft Year: 2022
    • Top Picks in Round 2 (Picks 33–37): ~80–90% guaranteed
    • Mid–Late Round 2 (Picks 38–64): ~55–75% guaranteed

    It's about not wanting to blink first, either the NFL or the Players. They all know they will settle, but no one wants to be the one to set the standard. In a way, Houston set a new standard by signing Higgins (34th pick) to a fully guaranteed Contract. But the NFL does not want to follow suit including Houston with it's other 2nd round pick in Ersery (48th pick).

    Personally, considering the value received from early picks, I'd just guarantee them.

    How about drops per pass thrown?

    Also, a "drop" can be measured differently by different people.

    And Stroud wasn't as accurate last year because he was constantly under pressure.

    The fact that the Dolphins were not able to get Cory Trice from the Steelers is criminal.

    I think the Steelers are all-in this year and have no intention of trading TJ Watt.

    As much as I would love TJ here, I agree with this.

    Moreover, I think we have a pretty good edge room (giggity) already.

    Hard to believe the first training camp starts in 13 days (7/12, Chargers).

I love me some Tank Dell but after last year.............I have 1% of a glimmer of hope and I am not gonna get sucked into this...........................BUT, the possibilities!!! Nope, not gonna let happy thoughts get into this warped brain of mine

    If Tank can get up to 80% by 2026 that would be amazing. Imagine the speed with him and Noel on the field at the same time.
