I remember the Chargers and Raiders running single high last year in the games we scored 31 points
Coverage Against profile for the @Chiefs offense last year. Teams played a lot more man (Cover 0, Cover 1) than in years past, and vs. the League average. pic.twitter.com/a5aIryy2VQ
Denver Broncos: C+
Top needs entering the draft: Quarterback, cornerback, edge defender
A year after picking just three times in the top five rounds, the Broncos were without their Round 2 pick in this draft. I never felt confident they'd take a quarterback at No. 12; they had too many roster questions to reach for a passer, too many holes to fill. Right? I thought they'd either take the best available cornerback there or trade down to build up their capital. If they really wanted to add a passer to compete with Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson, they could have landed one later in Round 1.
And I was wrong. Coach Sean Payton & Co. saw the run on quarterbacks -- five in the top 10 -- and stood pat, selecting Bo Nix (12). I wrote at length about the move on Thursday, but to sum it up: That's way too high for Nix, who put up massive numbers at Oregon but played in an offense in which he wasn't asked to go through read progressions. There's a ton of risk here. No one will remember that this pick was questioned if Nix becomes an immediate star, but Payton's Denver tenure is now tied to a passer with question marks...

There’s a reason he left the SEC. Real college defenses cooked him
So out of hundreds and hundreds of plays you don't even have ten. Let's say your summation and "observation" is correct, that's an amazing percentage of success vs failures. Man, I feel better already. Danke [Reply]
