Scott Wright is a great mock drafter. He has a great track record when it comes to predicting picks since the 90s, though he always does rounds 1-3. Unfortunately he updates his mock like 3 times a year. Here is his final mock.

He has

 

1. DJ Humphries

2. Devin Smith

3. Justin Hardy

 

as our three picks. what would you think about that draft?

draft countdown (actually, I used it when it was called NFL Draft Countdown before it was changed for trademark purposes I guess) used to be a waaayyyy better site. Now Scott Wright doesn't even do individual evaluations anymore, he just slaps a link to their prospect report on NFL.com. The forums used to be good for insight, but it's a ghost town now compared to years past. Also he tends to be biased towards specific skill sets or positions. He completely whiffed on the QB class in 2011 and had Cam rated at the end of the first round, with "traditional" QBs like Jake Locker rated much higher, in the top 10.

Frash is typing the truth. A few years back that was my go to site for draft infro. More and more it got weaker and others hit the web. I think one of the huddlers ran the panther form... shutdwn? Or something. Form about 2005- 2010 it was a decent draft site with a few nuggets.

I basically only use cbs and nfl 24/7 now-a-days. Its very hard for a website site remain "fresh". I used my old computer a few months ago and check outed the folders, rip 85% of them. :/

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      By d-dave · Posted

      The problem that Bryce faces is his lack of prototypical tools.  He's not the tall, strong armed mobile QB that tends to get drafted first overall.  His game is not played in underwear on a practice field.  His best asset are his intangibles.  They aren't sexy like a cannon arm or a fast 40 yard dash. OK, so we took the lesser athlete.  Bryce put up a pretty bad season with a bad team around him.  The coaching staff, for all it's platitudes, sucked.  They made sure Bryce could run a huddle, but didn't help him get better as a player.  Bad choice. Compare that to what other teams did to their Rookies:  they put them in position to succeed with better personnel and better play calling.  Sure, there are physical differences which are going to affect the outcomes, but you can't change it. Am I trying to ride to the defense of Bryce?  Only a little.  He's my favorite team's QB, and I believe in him.  Now, he's got this year to show that he's "the No. 1 for a reason" (Thanks CJ Stroud).  Will he, won't he?  I don't know at all.  That's on the D&D crew to put Bryce is position to play well.  Running the ball is going to make things a lot easier for Bryce.  Does that discount his success if he plays well?  For some of y'all it will.  Some of y'all just don't like Bryce, like he stole you DoorDash or something. Regardless, let's see what happens in 2024.  If Bryce stinks it up, then we're going back to the QB well again.

      we may think we know, but we don't know. we won't know what effect upgrades on the OL, coaching staff, and WR room will have. we don't know what scheme canales is going to put together. we don't know a lot of things.  that's why we play the games...to see what shakes out. plenty of reasons to think Bryce is limited this year...again. Plenty of reasons to see an improvement in his play.

      He did not elevate the players around him, but they de-elevated their QB.  A QB like Bryce needs a system, a strong OL, a Running game, and WRs that can get open.  Call him a manager at best, but so is a point guard.  That is all we should need.  He is smart enough to grow into a very effective player.  I once saw a Coach talking about the OL--i forget who it was Schottenheimer comes to mind--and he said, you can succeed if you have one weak link on the OL.  If you get 2 weak links, success comes 10x harder.  If you get three weak links, your season is over.  Your QB is injured, and you are unemployed (paraphrasing).  I would say that we had 4 weak links (Icky does not get a pass) and a RB who was not good at pass blocking. I am not saying the Bryce is the answer at QB--but I am saying we don't know yet. I know QBs (college) and when the OL sucks, they collapse mentally over time.  That is what we saw--a QB who had never played without the advantage.
