RE: observations about player values...
Player ratings are not adjusted for injuries and character concerns. That was disclosed in the article that you all accessed to read the rankings and also discussed on my show at length! So Payton Wilson's ranking is simply a reflection of how good of a fit he is for Miami's anticipated scheme. It does not reflect positional value, age, injury history & medical flags, etc. Players are, however, flagged with a letter to indicate that there's a deeper issue with the player that may disqualify them from being picked in a certain pick range. (I said on today's show that I would not draft Wilson in the first two rounds, for example)
That same logic applies to Caleb Williams. Of course a quarterback needy team would preempt other players who are better pure grades because the positional value of a quarterback transcends the value of other players.
As far as Brian Thomas Jr. goes; he's a raw player IMO. 2/3rds of his production came from 3 routes: hitches, curls and fades. The grade is a reflection of the player that he is now and I would, in a draft scenario, field a discussion about him versus all other players in the same tier as him to try to determine the best big picture decision, be that a 1-year forecast or a 3-year forecast for a player. (This was also discussed on today's show!)
Hope you all have a great draft week and some of you can rest easy...I am indeed not running the draft on Thursday and Friday.

That's the key. It doesn't mean one player is necessarily better than the other. This is about who's the best player for the Dolphins.I like that he based this on scheme fits.
Travis used to post here loads when he was basically a kid. I can still remember a post of his when he said his dream job would be to work for the Dolphins. Glad he made his dreams come true.That’s Travis Wingfield and I can’t listen to him.

Why? He's a massively intelligent football mind who has the dream job we would all kill for. I think he's also done a very good job of not changing his outlook simply because the Phins now pay him. He's always been a glass half full guy, I guess that's why I like him.That’s Travis Wingfield and I can’t listen to him.
