The NFL draft is nearly a week away and here are some interesting trends that may help you understand why your favourite team never picks your guy!

Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow and Josh Allen have all thrown the ball roughly a yard-and-a-half closer to the line of scrimmage on average since their third seasons as starters compared to their first two. This could be a sign of maturity, that they are learning to take the checkdown for easy yardage and matriculate the ball down the field.

From 2003 to 2020, 820 wide receivers were invited to the combine. Only 25 of them (3 percent) weighed 175 pounds or less. Over these last four draft classes (including the 2024 group), the percentage of players checking in below that weight threshold has more than doubled, to 8.3 percent, with 15 total receivers weighing in at 175 pounds or less.

From 2003 to 2019, half of the linebackers entering the NFL weighed over 239 pounds. Over the last five draft classes, just a quarter of linebackers reached that threshold.
