79. Akeem Davis-Gaither, LB, Appalachian State (rSR, 6' 2", 224 pounds)

112. Darrynton Evans, RB, Appalachian State (rJR, 5' 10", 203 pounds)

What is the average turnover every year in the NFL? Players being let go or not renewed against their own desires + the players that retire on their own.

I read some years ago the average work life was around 4 and some change years which is one reason the NFLPA was working to get retirement benefits vested at 4 years.

How many are on the roster and then practice squad, though I am not sure practice squad gets a pension?
(I know I could look this up but my lunch is over.)

ADG could be the second highest draft pick ever for App. Quite the rise from mid-season estimates.

Evans is going to make people wish they took him higher.

At 79th he would be the third highest (behind Brian Quick and Dexter Jackson) and just edging out AE.
Quick and Jackson were both 2nd round picks (#33 and #58 Respectively). AE was 3rd round at #89.

Harold Alexander was 67th.

Don't forget Dino Hackett, rd 2 and 35th overall.

Average NFL career is 3.5 years I believe.

I see others mentioned but no ADG at 79 would not be 2nd highest. He would be 7th highest.

Quick- 33
Hackett- 35
Jackson- 58
Edwards- 59
Coakley- 65
Alexander-67

The expectation around the NFL is mid to late 3rd for ADG and 4th round for Evans. It will be interesting to see.

Kiper's final list -
Davis-Gaither = #94 ---OLB #7
Evans - #122 ---RB #13

I'll take the under on ADG, and think Evans goes in the 5th.

yeah I think ADG will be go sooner -

The only one worse than Kiper is McShay.

NO - the worst in the whole business is F-ing Joe Lunardi - Joey Brackets in his basement --- I want his job filling out brackets all year and with absolutely no recourse for always being wrong - If any of us had all the info he has we could get within 1-2 picks - hell, 3/4 of the field is known before the season starts ---

I really enjoy Lunardi's projections during the last month or so of the season. It's true that he's not doing anything magical, but it's a lot of info to summarize in one spot. At least he creates something informative, unlike the guys they pay $7 million to pretend like they're constantly outraged about everything.

Back to the draft, I don't read mocks much anymore, but my sense when I did was that they had a pretty good idea about the top 5-10, enough to make informed guesses about the rest of the first, and everything after that is throwing darts in the dark.

McShay's final has ADG as #5 OLB and Darryton as #11 RB
And Vic Johnson as #36 OT and Jordan Fehr as #23 ILB

McShay is on the DL tonight - Covid-19
