A low-risk future deal for a developmental center with NFL pedigree but no guaranteed roster spot. Multiple headlines suggest Nugent is navigating the roster bubble, not locking down a starting role. His Michigan national championship background is the strongest calling card here. Fans are cautiously optimistic, pointing to his college credentials in an otherwise thin depth chart battle. Nugent projects as a practice squad developmental piece unless injuries force an early audition.

This signing grades out as a significant overpay for the San Francisco 49ers — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Drake's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL Cs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $885K average annual value ranks as bargain money for the C market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Drake is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
