    Even Callahan didn't have a 60/40 split between passes and rushes.

     

    2004 - 44R, 65PA

    2005 - 51R, 76PA

    2006 - 59R, 46PA

    2007 - 56R, 54PA

     

    Technically 2004 was 40.4/59.6.  I appreciate the info, though.  :thumbs

    RE: Taking a pick too high

     

    I don't know about anyone else, but this is one of those annoying things draft analysts say every year.

     

    Mathing it out, it makes sense on the surface. You value a player at a certain spot and don't want to spend any more than you need to get that pick. The logic breaks down when you quickly realize you have picks at set intervals. Usually that is 32 picks apart, but in Denver's case they didn't have a 2nd round pick, so that pick is now 64 picks apart. Is Bo Nix still there at 76? Probably not. That leaves the option of trading down/up to maximize your pick slot.

     

    The only thing more annoying is everyone suggesting a team should trade down. Everyone knows trading down is usually a high value play, and because of that, very few teams want to trade up. One of the few positions worth trading up for, especially in this draft, is QB.

     

    Denver didn't have a lot of options here and everyone knew that when Russ was cut. As the draft got closer and closer and it became more and more apparent a lot of QBs would go early, Denver had their hands tied as to what choice of QB they may get. The didn't have the draft capital to move around the board, and they were pretty desperate for a QB. The fact next year's QB class doesn't look great also likely played a big part in many teams making the QB decisions they did.

     

    Like you said, value in the pick.  Because the gap to the next guy is A LOT.

    Whites have most of the 1s today. Reds have the 2s.

     

    For the first time since the beginning of the Devaney era, the White team has won three straight Spring Games. If the 1s win today that's a four-game win streak.
