Welcome to the Sunday 7…
The Rams drafted a quarterback in the first round with an MVP still playing at a high level. Sean McVay didn't look thrilled about it. I've seen this exact situation play out twice from the inside, and I know how it ends.
Meanwhile, the number one pick will make $55 million over four years, which sounds massive until you realize he'll be one of the lowest-paid starting quarterbacks in the NFL. The number three pick signed for $50 million and is immediately one of the highest-paid players at his position. Same draft, opposite value. One of these teams got it very wrong.
