SAN FRANCISCO -- The draft is in shambles and the NFL organization is in a frenzy. Franchises are currently scrambling for a backup plan. The current US Presidential administration has place steep tariffs, up to 104%, on players being picked and traded. This has created some interesting scenarios.

First off, players who were slotted as first round picks such as Abdul Carter and Travis Hunter are now actually worth less than just one week ago. Due to the higher cost that they'll bring its actually suboptimal for teams to pick them. Picks much lower are actually smarter plays this time around.

Another interesting mixup: who is paying these tariffs? Well, as we know tariffs are paid by the teams drafting players, who then push these prices onto...the fans. Not only are concession prices going up at all stadiums, the cost of Red Zone and Sunday Ticket are both expected to increase by around $10/mo each. A real shocker for already struggling sports fans.

Worst of all: you'll have to hear about this news for yet another week. This is the real crime.

Lawsuits against the administration are already underway, filed by the NCAA as well as the NFL itsself. The 5thQuarterSports staff will keep our 4 readers informed on the breaking developments.
