How jonah gets better

The film room

The Travis Kelce read

Taken at pick 20 in 2018, he returned +96.4 over what that slot usually gives you. Trust the board when it screams.

TE is your money position

2 TE picks returned 2.84× what their draft cost predicts. Keep buying there.

Jay Ajayi still hurts

Pick 60 in 2018 came in −20.1 under the slot.
