Define "sticking around". It generously sounds like making the final 53 or practice squad with the team that signed them for the year they are signed. Literally could mean just lurking in LA somewhere. Like grocery bagging! Exactly!
Super Bowl!!

Difficult to go against TB, but then they do have a tendency to choke...... Extremely hard to predict the attrition coming, and it will play a factor. The teams built to survive the attrition are TB, Caps, Calgary and surprisingly to many, Colorado. Calgary plays Colorado first round, so that winner might be a team to watch closely. All said and done, any team that has that hot goalie could go very far......it always starts from the net.

I still haven't grown use to the idea that teams from hot weather places like TB even have a team in the NHL.
I should add - I know nothing about hockey. As a boy, raised in Northern Illinois, I played hockey - strictly school boy hockey. We didn't even know there were rules. We just raced back and forth trying to hit the puck into the net (box with bricks holding it in place.) - we played on a lagoon, get this - in a nearby cemetery. The residents never joined us.  That's about 70 years ago.

In theory, that's great. But what about tiers... and specific needs...? Example: The safety class. IMO, there are 6 or 7 safeties that can adequately be starting free safeties. IMO, they're all equally talented (same relative tier). Why would I take one in the first round when I could get an equally talented one in the 2nd round...? I think it does show that a team that wants a starting free safety shouldn't gamble and wait until the third round, though. And then there is OL. Whereas, IOL are very different than OT's. The DL position is the same. Are we talking 1-tech, 3-tech, 5-tech...? Same goes for the LB group...

Interesting taking a look at DL:
1-tech: Dexter Lawrence (1st/2nd), Khalen Sauders (3rd), Daylon Mack (3rd/4th), Greg Gaines (4th/5th).
3-tech: Ed Oliver (1st), Quinnen Williams (1st), Christian Wilkins (1st), Jeffery Simmons (1st/2nd), Jerry Tillery (1st/2nd), Rashan Gary (1st/2nd), Dremont Jones (2nd), Khalen Saunders (2nd/3rd), Renel Wren (3rd), Gerald Willis (3rd), Zach Allen (3rd), Charles Omenihu (3rd), Isaiah Buggs (3rd), Daniel Wise (4th).
If you look at the DL like this, teams will find it easier to get a 3-tech than a 1-tech.

If you look at the DL like this, teams will find it easier to get a 3-tech than a 1-tech. With Bradley's system, it's almost like you need a DT that can play both. Mebane was a 3-tech in Seattle next to Rubin. Now he's a 1-Tech with us, while Justin Jones is the 3-Tech when Liuget went down.

TT kind of did something similar in 2016 when he drafted TE in the 2nd round. With that being said, are there really 6 to 7 FS that can play the single high scheme in this draft?
