Ute friend (I know, a good guy just misguided) told me today he read Ryan Smith

Sorry. It was copying the wrong link. Tried 3 times and finally got it right.

Does it matter if he did or didn’t?

Not to me. I would love it if he did. But seems like false information given

I personally thinks he donates more in terms of value. KY flew on Smith Private

Baker got 3/$100M. Tough to imagine Darnold getting less than that.

Geno smith was in that same price range I believe

Franchise tag would be ~$55.6M so there will be some sort of contract

He is freaking good. With that line, he is unreal.

I still think it was a bad idea. RBs aren't worth that cost

That crazy. Gibbs does everything for them on offense.

And RBs will have success playing behind that offensive line

Drafting backs high works. It’s just not overpaying them after that first

I’d rather draft someone that I want to give a second contract early in R1.
