  • Deception (30%)
    The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author uses sensationalism by stating that fifth-round picks don't get the spotlight like players selected on Thursday and Friday night. However, this statement is not true as many fifth-round picks have made major impacts on Sundays.
    • The article states that 'Stefon Diggs, Tyreek Hill, Aaron Jones, Matt Judon and George Kittle are just a few examples of mid-Saturday selections proving themselves worthy of notice'. This is also a lie by omission as it fails to mention many other fifth-round picks who have had significant contributions. For example, Caleb Williams was selected in the sixth round but has already proven himself as one of the top quarterbacks in 2024.
    • The article states that 'fifth-round picks don't get the spotlight like players selected on Thursday and Friday night'. This is a lie by omission as it fails to mention that many fifth-round picks have had significant contributions as rookies.

    • During Daniels' pro day, it was obvious he had been working on his pocket-movement skills. He'll be very effective in Kliff Kingsbury's offense if he's able to add improved footwork to his whip of an arm and elusive running skills.

Additionally, the author presents Dylan Laube's dynamic route-running ability as if it were the only option for a team in need of electricity in space, creating a false dilemma.
