Dear Mike Mayock

How was Mayock supposed to know Clemmings would have a serious medical issue that scared teams off to this extent?

It isn't like Clemmings is falling because of talent.  He was a flawed prospect, but he was a 1st or 2nd round prospect in this draft.  Medical is just putting teams off and must have been a lot serious than everyone thought before the draft as it isn't like he was the only one mocking him in the 1st.

Forget the injury deal with clemmings for a second. Maycock first list had clemming as the #1, few weeks pass there's the senior bowl. Clem was beatin by everyone, EVERYONE. Maycock kept him there for weeks afterwards, even up til the combine. Then he moved him down to like 3rd after the combine, still waaay too high. Just recently he moved to 5th.

He knows about injurys, he stated it plenty of times in his grading system. It is a impossible task to correctly grade 1,000 some players in his defense. Still he fell off a lot this year in my eyes.

These guys are making educated guesses just to fill space. Nothing more.

I really wish more people knew that. It's just a fun thing to do to pass time in the offseason. Weird when you read a mock draft online and fans make death threats. Like chill

    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
    • there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.   
    • In 6 games, we've only had 6 hurries??? ... that can't be accurate
