It is more likely that only one quarterback is drafted in the first round than three

There's a growing sense that it's more likely that one quarterback gets drafted in the first round than three. Cam Ward one, Jackson Dart two, Shedeur Sanders three, Tyler Shough four, Jalen Milroe five.

Only two quarterbacks were drafted in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft: Cam Ward (#1 to Titans) and one other. Shedeur Sanders dropped to the 5th round. The prediction that fewer QBs would go in the first round was directionally correct.

The NBA should stop the Eastern Conference playoffs because the Celtics are just going to eat everyone

Can we just stop with the Eastern conference playoffs? Can we just not do 'em? Because what's happening is every team is just kind of getting fattened up to get eaten by the Celtics and a delicious snack. Like that's what's gonna happen.

The Celtics did dominate the 2024 Eastern Conference, losing only two games total on their way to the Finals.

I would not be shocked if Giannis Antetokounmpo doesn't finish his career in Milwaukee if they don't make a deep run

He said that he would not be shocked if Giannis doesn't finish his career in Milwaukee and that this is a very pivotal playoff for them. And if they don't make a finals run or win the finals, there could be a big wholesale change in Milwaukee.

Giannis signed a major extension in 2023, but rumors of his departure persist whenever the Bucks struggle in the postseason.

The Pistons finally winning a playoff game signals that all of Detroit sports are trending in the right direction

This is something that Pistons fans should enjoy and revel in and be like, yes. Like it is now trending towards the right way. All of Detroit sports, by the way, besides the Red Wings... the lions have been bad forever. They've obviously the last few years have been really good. The Tigers were bad for a really long time. They've been good. And now the Pistons.

In the real world, the Pistons were historically bad in the 2023-24 season and did not make the playoffs.

Ashton Jeanty is a better pure runner than Bijan Robinson

I actually think [Ashton Jeanty] is a better pure runner in terms of contact balance churning out yards after contact than Bijan Robinson. There's been six running backs going the top 10 in the last 10 years of the draft... [Ashton Jeanty] is absolutely worth the pick.

Comparing running backs as pure runners is inherently subjective scouting analysis.

Matthew Golden is the best wide receiver in the 2025 draft class

Number one receiver, Matthew Golden. Route running, crispness, 4.29 40-yard dash... top end speed great... caught a crease, he's gone. Vertical speed adjusts to the ball. I like Golden one.

This will be proven over time as these receivers play in the NFL.

Caleb Williams entering the Chicago Bears is the best situation for a #1 pick in a long time

Caleb comes in and you've got DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, Deandre Swift... this is as good as situation as we've seen in a long time. ... You have to go back a while to say which quarterback was in this good of a situation that Caleb Williams is entering into as the number one overall pick in the draft.

The offensive weapons surrounding Caleb Williams (Moore, Allen, Odunze) are statistically much better than typical #1 pick environments.
