The Dolphins has a chance to pick Lamar Jackson


Solids sentence structure, would've never guessed you were a lamar jackson fan.
 
forgetting about Jackson the pick they made versus what was left on the board does one thing. It helps hasten the selling of the team by 78 year old Ross. The rest of the AFC East just moved further ahead.

4-5 yrs from now we’ll see who’s right. The kid is a natural playmaker. If you believe Ryan Tannehill will led us to the promise land I have no respect for you as a individual to make good decisions for yourself or the people you’re responsible for.

I just got pulled over by the grammar Police, Glad you’re getting paid for this! I wouldn’t be surprise if you’re out policing others thoughts too.
 
Lamar went to a good situation, but I’m willing to bet he lost himself 2-7 million as a result of not having an agent

you mean the agent working the teams prior to the draft, correct?

Yes that’s a huge part of it. Multiple stories came out, several weeks apart, that teams weren’t able to get ahold of him pre draft to set up meetings and workouts. One team tried 7 times to contact him. Right then he’d get crossed off some team’s boards.

He also had minimal buzz heading into the draft and had no one hyping him up to teams or at least creating the illusion of interest. Why did Baltimore not take him at 25? Because they knew he shot himself in the foot and would still be available at 32, that’s a difference of 1.5 million this year between those slots.

Obviously it’s not an exact science and is speculative, but a conglomerate of 100 mock drafts had him going on average at #15, which would’ve been a $13.4 mil contract rather than the $9.4 he got, and any spot higher than that would’ve increased dramatically. https://www.sbnation.com/a/nfl-mock-draft-database-2018

So with his roughly $9.4 million contract, he saves a maximum of about 285k if he signed a full 3% commission. But I have zero doubt that he lost much more than that amount.

Probably worth getting that squared away anyway. May come in handy at a job interview or something
