One of my favorite studies I read years ago was how the red zone fade was an inefficient pass no matter who was catching the ball. Except for Calvin Johnson who was so gifted he was the only receiver to turn over half his attempts into touchdowns.

@FootbaIIism I’m not a huge Diggs supporter given how he won last season, but these types of reps are heavily favored to the offense. QB doesn’t have to worry about anything, DB left on his own knowing longer routes can develop. That doesn’t happen often in a game.

I’m thinking 2nd round picks might be really undervalued in the NFL. High end first round picks are still fairly decent cap hits by the end while 2nd round picks remain incredibly cheap for all 4 years. At most positions there’s still plenty of talent on the board as well.
