Kiper is starting to hype up Perriman. What are the chances...

[LinvilleGorge]

Merril Hoge? He's a very good one too imo. 

 

Not a big fan.

I hope Cooper, White, Green-Beckham, and Perriman are all drafted ahead of us. It just makes it more likely that Jalean Strong falls to us at #25.

A couple of years ago, a Harvard student group actually broke down the analytical skills of both Kiper and McShay.  Their findings?  They're both equally terrible.

OP does realize that media hype isn't what make GM's draft or pass on players right?

[mc52beast]

Is there such a thing as minus 0%?

Kipper just put Perriman at 9th on his big board. I'll just say I disagree. Strongly.

If Cooper fell to us I think I'd die of shock. The chances are .00000000000000000000000000001% though. And if he were to fall it would not be because of Perriman.

I am not wishing for anyone to drop because it's pretty useless.  I am not going to hope that a possibly superior player is taken before Gettleman has the opportunity to make his choice either. That way I pretty much know that we've gotten the receiver that Gettleman would have chosen.  

 

At the end of the day, If Gettleman picks a receiver in the first, regardless of who it is, I am going to be satisfied.

I thought it was well known that mel kiper hypes up certain players, cause their agents pay him. He was exposed awhile back for this, i mean he's needs another income to pay for all the hair products.

Kiper and McShay are loud mouthed hacks. The only national media "draft experts" I pay much attention to are Cosell and Mayock.

I would listen to Jeremiah and Brandt over both of them.

[JawnyBlaze]

Kiper and McShay are both absolute garbage.  Like I would honestly believe they decide who they're going to like before watching any film and then tailor their "analysis" to fit their preferences.  Don't care for Jeremiah, and I feel like I shouldn't even mention him but Charles Davis is the worst at everything he does and this time of the year he tries his hand at draft analysis and it's no different.  If Matt Millen and pretty much every Browns GM since 2008 were draft analysts, they'd be Kiper, McShay and Davis.  

 

I like Mayock, but I don't necessarily agree with him all or even most of the time.  I think he's better than those I've already mentioned, but the thing I like about him is how he explains prospects and his willingness to have an open mind more than the other guys that are absolutely certain that they're always right.  The guys I put more stock in are guys like Brandt and Cosell, but more in the interest of learning more of the specifics what the pros are looking for than for blind guidance.  I prefer to watch what videos I can find and make up my own mind more than anything.

I only came 8nto this thread to say....

Mel Kiper is as accurate at his job as the weatherman is at his.

Nodda.

Though if Cooper falls to about 12 Gettleman needs to be on the phone with the Browns asap
