RSS FeedUPDATED: 2019 NFL Draft Picks by Team with Draft Chart Values
By Chris Malumphy
Below are the 2019 NFL Draft picks owned by each team as of April 11 with the associated Draft Chart values. Although trades will undoubtedly occur both prior to and during the draft altering the draft order, these tables show the power some teams have to amass talent now or in the future by selecting players or trading picks for players or future draft choices. Currently, the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots have the most draft choices, 12, closely followed by the Cincinnati Bengals, New York Giants and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Giants and Steelers added picks recently in the Odell Beckham and Antonio Brown trades. The Arizona Cardinals, Green Bay Packers and Buffalo Bills each have 10 picks.
The league worst Arizona Cardinals have the most draft value overall (4015.15). Despite the Antonio Brown trade, the Oakland Raiders still have eight draft picks including three in the first round and have the second most draft value (3895.10).
The Seattle Seahawks have the fewest selections, four, but have more draft value than five teams with more choices. The Chicago Bears, with five draft picks, have the least draft value overall. The San Francisco 49ers, New York Jets and Jacksonville Jaguars each have just six picks but a disproportionate amount of draft value, 3510.60, 2681.60 and 2364.00 respectively. Other teams with six draft choices, but much less draft value, are the Tennessee Titans (1543.80), Dallas Cowboys (569.70) and New Orleans Saints (345.70).
The Oakland Raiders (4168.60), Arizona Cardinals (4024.75) and San Francisco 49ers (3510.60) have the picks with the most overall draft value. The Chicago Bears (233.80), New Orleans Saints (345.70), Dallas Cowboys (569.70), Cleveland Browns (765.60) and Los Angeles Rams (904.15) have the least draft value.
By virtue of winning the Super Bowl, the Patriots have the last selection in the first round, the 32nd choice overall, however, six of their 12 current draft picks are within the first 101 choices in the draft which provides them with tremendous power to maneuver. Coming off a 9-6-1 record, the Pittsburgh Steelers with 11 selections and 1922.90 points of draft value have a great opportunity to remain on top of the AFC Central. The Cleveland Browns, who still have 8 choices, currently have the fourth worst draft value (765.60), so unless GM John Dorsey pulls some more magic, it is unlikely that the 2019 Draft will add much to the Browns overall hopes which are already high following the rookie seasons of Baker Mayfield and Nick Chubb and the reunion of Odell Beckham Jr. with Jarvis Landry. The Green Bay Packers have been down in recent years but with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback along with 10 draft picks and the fifth most draft value (2686.40) the Pack has the opportunity to be back.

The Rich Get Richer with 2019 NFL Compensatory Draft Pick Allocations
By Chris Malumphy
The NFL's compensatory draft pick system should be heavily modified, or abolished. The recent compensatory pick awards for the upcoming draft show why. The system harms players, fans and teams alike to the detriment of the game.
Fifteen teams were awarded a total of 32 compensatory picks for the 2019 NFL Draft. Compensatory draft picks are awarded to teams that lose more, or better, free agents than they sign the prior season.
The New England Patriots, Washington Redskins and Arizona Cardinals received four compensatory picks. Los Angeles Rams, Minnesota Vikings and Cincinnati Bengals received three. The Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons get two. The Kansas City Chiefs, Dallas Cowboys, Baltimore Ravens, Indianapolis Colts, Carolina Panthers and San Francisco 49ers receive one each.
Teams that did not receive a compensatory pick were the: Chicago Bears, Buffalo Bills, Denver Broncos, Cleveland Browns, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Los Angeles Chargers, Miami Dolphins, Jacksonville Jaguars, New York Jets, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Oakland Raiders, New Orleans Saints, Seattle Seahawks, Pittsburgh Steelers, Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans.
According to the Draft Value Chart, the 32 picks awarded for 2019 represent 1041.2 points of draft value. Because compensatory picks come at the end of the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th rounds, individual compensatory picks have a wide range of draft values according to the chart. Third round compensatory picks often have a valuation of over 100 points while the last compensatory picks at the conclusion of the 7th round (think Mr. Irrelevant) have a value of less than one. Also note that each traditional pick (non compensatory) in rounds four and later loses value as compensatory picks are added before it. Thus, in a draft without compensatory picks the first selection in the 4th round (typically the 97th pick overall) would have a value of 112 points. However, if seven compensatory picks are awarded in the 3rd round, as there will be in 2019, that first selection in the 4th round is pushed back from the 97th pick in the draft to the 104th with a value of just 86, a drop of over 23%.
The compensatory draft pick system is harmful to professional football in a variety of ways. It hurts players because it reduces bidding for their services by awarding the player's current team with a draft pick if it decides to withdraw from the bidding, or limits its bid, and ultimately loses the player to another team. This helps keep salaries down and adds to the under utilization of available salary cap amounts with teams frequently being tens of millions, and sometimes over a hundred million, dollars under the cap. This system also helps rush older players out of the league for being "too expensive" when they might still be capable of playing at a higher level than younger and cheaper alternatives.
The compensatory draft pick system hurts fans by adding to the general roster turnover. If teams were not compensated for losing more/better free agents than they sign, they would be more likely to actively work to keep current players, many of whom are fan favorites, on their roster rather than lose their talents without being compensated. And they might also pursue other free agents more vigorously since there would no longer be anything to gain from not doing so.
The compensatory draft system also hurts overall competitiveness to the detriment of not only the fans and players, but to many teams as well. Note how frequently good teams are able to stockpile compensatory draft picks, while poor teams, already suffering from a lack of talent, cannot. Seven of the 15 teams awarded compensatory picks for 2019 were in the playoffs this past season. Of the 17 teams not receiving compensatory picks, only five were in the playoffs last season, 12 were not.
Playoff teams awarded compensatory picks included the: Patriots (4), Rams (3), Eagles (2), Chiefs (1), Colts (1), Cowboys (1) and Ravens (1). The five playoff teams who did not receive a compensatory draft pick are the: Bears, Chargers, Saints, Seahawks and Texans. Overall, playoff teams received 13 (40%) of the 32 compensatory draft picks. The draft value of the compensatory picks awarded to playoff teams totaled 653.15 points which was 62.7% of the 1041.2 total compensatory draft value awarded. How can weak teams improve if strong teams can jump in front of them in the draft by jettisoning players they no longer want? And in the event that a weak team loses a free agent that might qualify them for a compensatory pick, the system discourages them from actively pursuing more or better free agents by offsetting any signings by denying the allocation of the compensatory pick.
The compensatory system not only helps strong teams get stronger, but the most recent Super Bowl participants will benefit most of all in 2019. Combined, the Patriots and Rams received 7 (21%) of the compensatory draft picks and 431.65 points (41%) of the draft value awarded. Patriots coach Bill Belichick is well known for using the compensatory draft system to the Patriots' advantage. Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams may be taking lessons from the master.
Not only is it important to remember that all subsequent traditional draft picks are pushed back and become less valuable when compensatory draft picks are meted out, it should also be noted that a change made in 2017, after the compensatory draft system had already been in place for two decades, helped the system became even more lopsided in favor of strong teams. Beginning that year teams were permitted to trade compensatory draft picks for the first time. Now teams can take even greater advantage of those picks by trading them to move up in the draft or to obtain additional picks in subsequent years when the team's needs might be greater.
When the players association next sits down with the NFL to negotiate the collective bargaining agreement, they should be sure to ensure that the CBA no longer rewards teams for failing to sign their own free agents. It will make the system better and fairer for the players, the fans and even the teams.

Head Coaches Beware Drafting a Quarterback in the First Round—Your Job is at Stake
By Chris Malumphy
Drafting a quarterback in the first round does not bode well for the head coach's job security. Of the 13 quarterbacks drafted in the first round since 2015, only five enter 2019 with their original coach, with five of the teams now on their third coach, if you include the Broncos who moved on from Paxton Lynch but are now on their third coach since drafting him. Of the seven quarterbacks drafted in the top three picks during those years, only Carson Wentz is still with his original coach.

Draft Status of 2019 Super Bowl Starters
By Chris Malumphy
The Los Angeles Rams will likely start seven 1st round draft picks on defense and three on offense in Super Bowl LIII. The New England Patriots will counter with four 1st round draft picks on defense and two or three on offense depending on whether you consider both Philip Dorset and Cordarrelle Patterson likely to start.
All three members of the Rams' defensive line were selected with picks in the top half of the 1st round: Ndamukong Suh (2010, 2nd pick), Aaron Donald (2014, 13th) and Micheal Brockers (2012, 14th). Two of the Rams linebackers were selected within the top seven picks in the draft: Dante Fowler (2015, 3rd) and Mark Barron (2012, 7th). Both Rams' cornerbacks were selected just after the middle of the 1st round: Marcus Peters (2015, 18th) and Aqib Talib (2008, 20th). Five of the seven Rams' 1st rounders starting on defense were originally drafted by other teams: Suh, Fowler, Barron, Peters and Talib. On offense, the Rams' three 1st rounders all play skill positions: quarterback Jared Goff (2016, 1st), running back Todd Gurley (2015, 10th) and wide receiver Brandin Cooks (Saints, 2014, 20th).
As perennial contenders, the Patriots typically have low draft picks, which is reflected in their starting lineup. On defense, the team has a defensive lineman (Malcolm Brown, 2015, 32nd), a linebacker (Dont'a Hightower, 2012, 25th) and a safety (Devin McCourty, 2010, 27th) selected with the 25th pick or later in the 1st round. The Patriots will also start cornerback Stephon Gilmore, selected with the 10th pick in the 2012 draft by the Buffalo Bills. On offense, the only 1st round pick drafted originally by the Patriots is rookie running back Sony Michel (2018, 31st). Wide receivers Philip Dorset (Colts, 2015, 29th) and Cordarrelle Patterson (Vikings, 2012, 29th) were selected in the first round by other teams and were actually only the 4rd and 5th most productive wideouts on the Patriots in 2018 behind Julian Edelman, the now inactive Josh Gordon and Chris Hogan.
Naturally, 1st round draft picks aren't the only players on the field, and they are not always the best, even on their own teams at the same position as the Patriots' wide receivers reflect. But 1st round choices are players generally considered to have superior athletic ability at the time of the draft. Whether they've harnessed that supposed advantage on the professional playing field is another matter. The Rams went all in on filling their 2018 season starting lineup with high round picks which also includes four 2nd rounders on offense, two obtained from other teams, and another on defense. The Patriots are relying to a greater extent on players selected later in draft. With perhaps the best coach of all time in Bill Belichick going against Sean McVay, the rising coaching star in the NFL, Super Bowl LIII will be a match of contrasting team building styles.

2018 Thousand Yard Rushers—A Young Man’s Game
By Chris Malumphy
In 2018, the Year of the Almighty Passing Game, nine players rushed for more than 1,000 yards. The nine running backs include five players selected in the first round of their drafts, two from the second round, a sixth rounder and one who was signed as a free agent after going undrafted. Each of the first rounders were top ten picks: Saquon Barkley (2nd, 2018, Giants), Ezekiel Elliott (4th, 2016, Cowboys), Adrian Peterson (7th, 2007, Vikings), Christian McCaffrey (8th, 2017, Panthers) and Todd Gurley (10th, 2015, Rams). Players drafted in the second round surpassing 1,000 yards rushing in 2018 were Derrick Henry (45th player overall, 2016, Titans) and Joe Mixon (48th, 2017, Bengals). Chris Carson was selected by the Seahawks in the seventh round, the 249th player drafted in 2017. The Broncos signed Philip Lindsay after he went undrafted in 2018.
Four of the 1,000 yard rushers were the first running back selected in their draft: Adrian Peterson (2007), Todd Gurley (2015), Ezekiel Elliott (2016) and Saquon Barkley (2018). Two others were the second running back selected: Derrick Henry (2016) and Christian McCaffrey (2017). Joe Mixon was the fourth running back selected in 2017 while Chris Carson was 29th the same year. Philip Lindsay was undrafted even though 21 running backs were selected in 2018.
Only the Rams' Todd Gurley repeated the feat from 2017. Gurley holds another distinction. Other than the ageless Adrian Peterson who was drafted way back in 2007, Gurley entered the league longest ago, in 2015. Gaining 1,000 yards on the ground in 2018 was certainly a young man's game.

3-4 Defenses Top 4-3s in 2018 Regular Season
By Chris Malumphy
Teams that used a base 3-4 defense did better than those typically in a 4-3 alignment in 2018. The four teams allowing the fewest points during the regular season all used a 3-4 defense. Overall, 3-4 teams allowed 22.5 points per game and finished with a 104-86-2 (.547) record. Teams using a 4-3 allowed 23.9 points per game average, 1.4 points than 3-4 teams, and were 150-168-2 (.472) overall. Twelve teams used 3-4 schemes versus 20 using the 4-3 alignment as a base defense.
Of the twelve teams that made the playoffs, five used the 3-4 alignment. Thus, 5/12 or nearly 42% of the teams that used the 3-4 scheme made the playoffs. Conversely, 7/20 or 35% of the 4-3 teams made the playoffs. However, after losses by the Bears, Ravens and Texans, the only 3-4 teams still with a chance to go to Super Bowl LIII are the Chiefs and the Rams.

Patriots Rob Gronkowski Tied for Second in All-Time Playoff TD Receptions
By Chris Malumphy
The STATHEAD newsletter published a list of players with 10 or more TD receptions in the playoffs. I've added their career regular season stats to see who made most of their reputation via playoff production. The Patriots Rob Gronkowski, the only active player on the list in this year's playoffs, has a chance to move into sole possession of second place behind Jerry Rice in playoff touchdown receptions. Gronk is currently tied with the Steelers' John Stallworth.
Stallworth had 16% of his overall career touchdown receptions come in the playoffs, the most of any player on the list. Former Packer and Eagle Antonio Freeman is second with 14.1%. The Cardinals' Larry Fitzgerald (7.9%) and ex Viking, Raider, Patriot, Titan and 49ers (phew!) Randy Moss (6.0%) had the fewest percentage of their overall career touchdown receptions in the playoffs.
Of the non-active players on the list, only Antonio Freeman and ex-Steeler Hines Ward are not in the Hall of Fame.

Ed Reed, Tony Gonzalez and Champ Bailey Among Top Finalists for Hall of Fame
By Chris Malumphy
The 2019 NFL Hall of Fame selections will be announced on the eve of Super Bowl LIII. There are 15 modern era finalists, two contributors and a senior nominee waiting to learn whether they will be enshrined. While each of the 18 candidates has his backers and can make a good case for enshrinement, only four to eight new members will be selected.
The modern era nominees include seven offensive and six defensive stalwarts as well as two head coaches. No quarterbacks are under consideration, although one individual who played the position for over a decade may get in for his success as a coach.
The offensive players include running back Edgerrin James, wide receiver Isaac Bruce, tight end Tony Gonzalez, tackle Tony Boselli, guards Steve Hutchinson and Alan Faneca and center Kevin Mawae.
Modern era defensive finalists include one interior lineman and five defensive backs: defensive tackle Richard Seymour, cornerbacks Champ Bailey and Ty Law, and safeties Steve Atwater, Ed Reed and John Lynch. The coaches are Don Coryell and Tom Flores. The senior nominee finalist also comes from the defensive backfield: Johnny Robinson.
The finalists as contributors are Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen and former Dallas Cowboy personnel evaluation guru Gil Brandt.
Though tough to predict, it would be difficult to imagine a Hall of Fame that did not ultimately include Ed Reed, Tony Gonzalez and Champ Bailey. Pat Bowlen and Gil Brandt are also probable shoe-ins. That leaves some mighty fine talent left for less than a handful of other potential spots this year. In a league which now sports 32 franchises and 53-man rosters many fan favorites with substantial contributions to the game over many years will remain destined to be looking in from the outside of the Hall. It is quite a shame, and perhaps the Hall of Fame should consider establishing another, slightly lower, level of accolade to help preserve the memories and contributions of the numerous others who have shaped America's favorite professional sport. Unless that happens numerous contributors, including many standouts who played somewhat "invisible" positions will never receiver their proper due.

The 2019 Coaching Carousel is Underway
By Chris Malumphy
Black Monday has arrived for NFL coaches and the 2019 NFL coaching carousel is officially underway. During the season the Cleveland Browns sent Hue Jackson packing and the Green Bay Packers dismissed Mike McCarthy despite a Super Bowl ring and a .618 career winning percentage. Within 24 hours of the end of the regular season, six other coaches met their demise. After one season, the Arizona Cardinals decided Steve Wilks wasn't the answer to their turnaround efforts after just one year on the job. At the other end of the spectrum, Cincinnati Bengals owner Mike Brown decided that the second longest tenured coach in the league, Marvin Lewis, would be dismissed after 16 seasons. In Denver, the revered John Elway will be on his fourth coach in six years after Vance Joseph couldn't make steak out of the quarterbacks Elway provided him like Trevor Siemian, Case Keenum and Paxton Lynch. Perhaps coaching isn't the problem in Denver. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers fired Dirk Koetter after the coach failed to develop the talents of quarterback Jameis Winston into victories. Dissension in the ranks didn't allow Adam Gase to survive in Miami despite posting a near .500 record with little consistency from his quarterbacks. Todd Bowles couldn't keep losing in New York even though the Jets front office didn't provide him with any viable hope at the most important position on the field until this season. It doesn't appear that the Packers will stick with interim head coach Joe Philbin and the Browns are dithering over whether Gregg Williams' 5-3 record is good enough to retain the position.
With eight firings thus far, 25% of the 32 NFL head coaching positions are in flux. Of the 24 franchises that haven't made changes, 16 have head coaches with winning records for their careers, only six teams are sticking with coaches that have losing records, only two of whom started their tenure with the team prior to 2017: the Redskins Jay Gruden (2014) and the Jaguars Doug Marrone (2016).
There are lots of candidates to fill the vacancies. Among them are a slew of former NFL head coaches, promising coordinators and assistants and a handful of college coaches that NFL teams appear willing to consider. Top candidates appear to include Mike McCarthy, Josh McDaniels (a seeming perennial on these lists), Oklahoma mastermind Lincoln Riley and Adam Gase, who may have some explaining to do about why Dolphins ownership found him wanting. Coordinators and assistant coaches with outside shots include: Brian LeFlores, Matt LaFleur, Eric Bieniemy, Matt Eberflus, Dave Troub and Freddie Kitchens. College coaches include: Pat Fitzgerald, Jim Harbaugh (who took the 49ers to the Super Bowl) and Matt Campbell. Former head coaches, some who've had some success, but perhaps not enough, include Gregg Williams (hoping to hang on with the Browns), Mike Munchak, Dennis Allen, Jim Schwartz, Dan Campbell and Hue Jackson who may land the job in Cincinnati. Others who have no current coaching position but have had relatively recent success include: Bruce Arians, Jim Caldwell, Lovie Smith and John Fox. Only Arians seems to be even mentioned from that group.
