FTB’s Rapid Reaction/Stream of Consciousness Following Penn State’s Snow-Covered Stomping of Illinois
- Champions Week Champions, baby! Print the shirts!
- I’ll gladly die alone on my “Jahan Dotson needs to stay” hill if necessary, dang it. What’s the rush? Why leave an advantageous situation (returning QB, returning OC) to become a 3rd or 4th Round NFL Draft pick and find yourself locked in a terrible (comparatively) less-than-a-million-dollars-a-year contract for 4 seasons? Oh, but what if he gets hurt? You know what…what if Chris Godwin (heaven forbid) gets hurt tomorrow? Godwin (who was better than Dotson at the same stage of college) left early to be a 3rd Round draft pick and has emerged as a Top 10-15 NFL receiver. Guess how much money he’s made? $3.2 million. Guess how much of that contract was guaranteed? $792,164. If Dotson builds off what he did in 2020, I don’t think it’s inconceivable No. 5 sneaks in the end of the 1st Round. For the sake of argument, let’s say he’s got an opportunity to be the final pick of the 1st Round. In 2020, that draft slot paid $10.9 million — $8 million guaranteed.
