https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/03/08/cowboys-reportedly-offer-dak-prescott-richest-contract-in-league-history/ Via Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News, the Cowboys have offered quarterback Dak Prescott a contract with an average value of $33 million per year. Because Prescott currently has no contract, the so-called “new money” value of any deal he accepts will match the more practical assessment of a new contract: What that new contract is worth, from the moment it’s signed. For Prescott, both numbers under the reported offer would be $33 million. For Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson’s most recent deal, currently the richest in league history, the new money was $35 million per year. The total value at signing was $31.4 million per year.

17 huh? 15 is the latest for me this is called pushing talent up the draft board, Doug I have to hear your reasoning for this comment as it is not even close to being an apt comparison -

You may be reading too much into, this wasn't a response based on Beane or a question like that. I simply posted it because at the time (and even now) there is a feeling on the board that because the class is deep and because of the Watkins trade we in no ways should trade up for one of the top 3, even if they fall and we should prioritize other positions due to the depth of the WR class. People on the board here miss the point that, yes the top 3 are top tier players and fit exactly what Beane has talked about with top tier guys falling in a position of need, but that you will get the same caliber of player in RDs 2-3-4, which is blantanly not true. There is also the revisionst history of the Watkins class and what the BIlls mindset was and the roster at that time. What Albright said is based off of tweets he was getting that mirror the same thoughts on TBD, don't take the top tier WRs becuase of the high bust rate and look for the better value in RDs 2-3-4. If the talent is great, you should move for the great talent instead of settling for good. This was an overall statement, but it was defintely aimed at Denver fans, who are looking for the Broncos to pass on the RD1 WRs who may fall to 15 or close to and that they should push the need down the board based on the depth. Just to recap for others: Beane is on record for many things actually, and you can tell he is both genuine when he say's it and for the most part his track record when adhereing to it is spot on. I am going off of memeory here, simply becuase I have looked at all of this stuff very recently and had posts on the board about it (I am also lazy/efficient and don't want to do all the work again) 1.) In RD1 (he has only spoked about this in RD1, no mention was made if it remains true in later rounds or not) Beane ranks the board based on talent (top-tier, mid-teir and bottom-tier) 2.) Beane has indeed made mention that the players they look at in RD1 (and I think he mentioned RD2) are the high AAV positions. I am certain, that our scheme has to play a role in this as well - he won't draft a player who doesn't fit our scheme. He won't waste value or talent that way. 3.) When he talks about depth of the class (this was from last year). In a deep class you can push the need down your draft board, and basically draft the less deep position(s) ahead of it. Caveat is that you are talking about equal talent and having good talent throughout the rounds. If you take that in context of this draft, the second and thrid group of WRs are not that much different in terms of draft grades. You can push the WR need down in RD2 and get the same type of player in RD3. In this draft, there is enough differentiation between the top 3 and the next set, where those grades (now we are guessing but probably close to actuality) push them into the top tier guys in RD1. Whereas Higgins, Mims, Reagor Jefferson et al. are all tier 2 guys within the WR position grouping and from an RD1 ranking they are bottom-tier prospects. 4.) Beane says if you trade back let's say 5 spots and you have 6-7 guys that are similar in a grade, you will have a shot at one of them, but if you are willing to trade back 10 spots, you might as well get out of that round completely since you are willing to miss out on those 6-7 players. 5.) As we all know, he has said if you have top tier talent falling (Edmunds in RD1 so this invokes point #1 here), he will go up and get it, especially if it is in a position of need, if the need is not there, he may not - it depends and he left himself some wiggle room either way (which makes sense). 6.) He has talked about the high bust rates on the RD2 WRs and basically pushes it back to not having enough, the right kind of or bad information on those prospects. When asked if he would trade up for a WR, he did say if he is the best player on the board and there is a need, he would go up and get them. As he said, the most important thing this offseason is making sure the Board is right....

Versatility- McBeane loves it. Short mock based on it
Reed83HOF replied to NewEra's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Edge is not happening in RD 1 It's WR, CB maybe OT if someone slides (never gonna happen). Spending a RD1 pick on a S McD's scheme is very unlikely, both of our starters were picked up off the scrap heap - can find productive players cheaper in FA or in the mid RDs of the draft IMO -
