Please read this article from ESPN for all those who want to tell me why a Wright is so valuable. Here’s an excerpt but you’ll need to read the entire article to understand the whole point.
I’ll go ahead and guess some of the responses… “who cares what a nobody from ESPN said”… “He’s stupid… who cares what he says”… “they just hate the Dolphins so screw what he says”… even though the dude literally did research using a formula and has the data to back up what he’s saying…. Here’s the excerpt from the article…
Under Roseman, the Eagles have typically been the sort of team to take advantage of other teams' impatience, but he ended up on the wrong side of one of these moves last year, sending a future third-rounder to the Cardinals for a fourth-round pick that was used on cornerback
Kelee Ringo, who was just buried on the
depth chart when Philly used its
top two picks in the 2024 class on cornerbacks.
To make up for his rare moment of overconfidence, Roseman picked up some free draft capital by exploiting the Dolphins over the weekend. A cap-strapped Miami team that is
missing draft capital because of its tampering case sent a 2025 third-round pick to the Eagles to move up for running back
Jaylen Wright at No. 120. Wright is a fun, explosive player, but the Dolphins don't need to prioritize adding speedy running backs given their current roster. This could end up being a 40-pick jump for the Eagles a year from now.
This is not just about that excerpt… please read the entire article so you can understand what he’s saying. That’s not his opinion… it’s a fact using his research data.
Trading up isn't simply a pass/fail conversation, but there often is a clear winner. Here's what previous NFL draft deals can teach us.
