There were 253 draft selections: 221 regular selections and 32 compensatory selections. The draft, which is officially called the "NFL Player Selection Meeting", was held at Radio City Music Hall in New York City from April 26 to April 28, 2012. That was 2002 and Holmes had 21 rushing TDs and Dad won the title! Lesson learned.īy the way, I have made the title game for the last 5 years in a row.The 2012 NFL draft was the 77th annual meeting of National Football League (NFL) franchises to select newly eligible American football players for their rosters.
#2012 FANATICAL FOOTBALL FIEND KIRK COUSINS UPDATE#
I remember telling my dad, "that is a decent pick but they plan to pull him at the goal line." Ever the teacher, dad explained he had purchased the Fantasy Football Index update and read Holmes would get the goal line carries. The pick? Priest Holmes (his first dynamite year). He told me he felt very comfortable about who he was going to select but would not tell me who his prized gem was to be. The draft came and dad was sitting in the 12 hole for his pick. In addition to the magazine, I started buying the weekly updates years ago when my dad taught me a lesson. I have used your product for the past 18 years or so… Every now and then I will be tempted and look at what other magazines have to offer, quickly realizing no one comes close. Your customer service person was very kind, helpful and took care of the issue immediately. I ordered the wrong date for my update and called to correct the mistake. I wanted to thank you for such an amazing product and your customer service. Not listed, there are another 52 quarterbacks who ranked outside the top 25 in yards per completion but who didn’t start at least eight games the following year.
Of the 80 quarterbacks listed below, over half (43) ranked 20th or lower again the next season, and that’s what I’m expecting we’ll see this year. Like Tua, Wentz was in his second season. Of that group, 2008 Chad Pennington moved up to 15th, while 2018 Carson Wentz improved from 28th to 3rd. There have been 14 quarterbacks who’ve averaged under 10 yards per completion (like Tua). The other 21 ranking between 6th and 15th are tagged with one black dot. In the chart below, the four in the top 5 are tagged with two dots ( And I see 25 of 80 (almost a third) who at least ranked above average. Only 4 of those 80 quarterbacks who ranked outside the top 25 were able to come back and rank in the top 5 the next season. Considering only quarterbacks who started at least half of the season, there are 80 who ranked outside the 25 in average yards per completion – after length of throws – and who then came back and started at least half of the next season. I poked around with the numbers some on this, looking at stats from the last 20 years. If you took the 32 starting quarterbacks to a field and asked them to throw the ball as far as they can, Tua doesn’t look like he’d be able to outperform much of anyone. Tagovailoa is a small quarterback with limited mobility, and it doesn’t look like he has much of an arm. If we’re going off what we’ve seen on tape, it doesn’t look good. (This was the same theory with Drew Lock heading into last season it didn’t go well for him.) He’ll presumably be more willing to take chances in his second year. As a rookie, it looked like he was just trying to avoid mistakes, settling for short, safe throws underneath. Some of Tagovailoa’s struggles last year can be tied to his playing style. Parker really ripped up the league in the second half of the 2019 season. He’s not as fast, but he’s bigger, friendlier target who at times has looked like one of the league’s top dozen receivers. With his speed, he can score long touchdowns, either by getting behind defenses or by turning short catches into big plays.Īnd not to forgotten is DeVante Parker. And they selected Jaylen Waddle with the 6th pick of the draft.
They signed Will Fuller, who at times has been about effective as anyone at getting downfield for chunk plays. The Dolphins, after all, have pumped a lot of speed into their wide receiver group. Does this mean that he’ll never be a successful deep-ball thrower? Or is there some chance of him turning things around? Tua Tagovailoa didn’t have much such getting the ball downfield as a rookie, averaging only 9.7 yards per completion.
