26 players who never suited up for the teams that drafted them

John Elway, Bill Russell, Eli Manning, Dominique Wilkins are among the players never to suit up for the teams that drafted them.

The draft is a crapshoot. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. And sometimes, you trade players who go on to be great for other teams.

LaMarcus Aldridge

The best big men in 2006 were Texas forward LaMarcus Aldridge and LSU forward Tyrus Thomas. The Chicago Bulls, with the second pick, took Aldridge. The Portland Trail Blazers, with the fourth pick, took Thomas. But wound up sending Thomas and Viktor Khyrapa to the Bulls for Aldridge and a second-round pick. Instead of having Aldridge, who has been a long-time star, the Bulls had Thomas, who only played for the team for two-and-a-half seasons before being shipped to Charlotte.

The last double-digit win and loss season by each of the 32 NFL teams

The New England Patriots set the bar for double-digit victories in seasons. Who has lost 10 or more games most recently and frequently?

Double-digit wins are hard to achieve. Double-digit losses are something every franchise hopes to avoid. When was the last time each team reached the height and suffered the depth?

Arizona Cardinals

The 2015 season was the last of three in a row that saw Arizona reach double digits in the victory column. Those Cardinals went 13-3 and fell in the Conference championship. The losing side has been far more recent as Arizona has lost double-digit games in each of the last two seasons.

Lamar Jackson went 32nd overall in the 2018 NFL Draft. How have the players selected before the Ravens’ QB fared?

The Baltimore Ravens were fortunate in the 2018 NFL Draft that 31 selections were made without Lamar Jackson coming off the board when their turn came up at 32. In his second season, the Heisman winner from Louisville has earned honors as NFL MVP for the 2019 regular season. Who were the players chosen before Jackson?

What are the betting odds on where Tom Brady will play in 2020?

The oddsmakers have put out betting lines on where Tom Brady will play in 2020.

The mysterious photo posted on social media has set everyone aflutter. Where will the New Patriots’ and NFL’s G.O.A.T. play in 2020? DraftKings put out odds on where Brady will land … of course they are subject to change when oddsmakers decide to read into his social media antics. The rules clarify that the bet will be graded based on Brady’s team in Week 1 of the 2020 NFL regular season.

250-1

Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports

The odds would be considered Plus 25,000 meaning you would win $25,000 for every $100 you bet. Will simplifiy so people will know what the odds are to a dollar, but DraftKings numbers are based off an $100 bet. The reason why these team are so high is because it is deemed incredibly unlikely the Arizona Cardinals, Baltimore Ravens, Houston Texans, Kansas City Chiefs or Seattle Seahawks would need a quarterback. Those teams all seem to be set at QB.
