You gotta love when these dipshits start throwing their draft grades out there. 

 

"Hey listen to me, this is who every team is going to pick, and I'm a paid expert.  Welp, all of my picks were wrong, but now that the draft is over, let me grade each team's selections, and you should listen to this too.  Welp, the selections didn't live up to their draft grade last season, but let me tell you why and who every team is going to pick next draft."

 

Please kill yourselves.

This is a dumb post. anyone who makes a mock draft isn't going to be right about all of there picks because the draft is ever evolving. You can't predict what trades are going to happen and one trade throws your whole mock out of wack. Its like nailing someone for having their march madness bracket not pan out.

Doesn't mean kiper was wrong. Hes just not a fortune teller. You do mocks based on what a team should do...and they are fun. They are not ment to be 100% accurate.

even better, ESPN wants you to pay for Insider in order to read those grades

Mock drafts are stupid

In my opinion, the only thing mock drafts are good for is introducing you to players at their roughly accurate skill level. It seems that 100% of mock drafts do so based SOLELY on need and they tell you that up front. "Panthers need a LT badly so they will pick X". When we all KNOW that this is NOT how the team(s) pick. They are set up fromt he get go to be wrong. But they tell you who the players are and basically (I'd say within a rd or so) where their talent falls.

 

After that, mocks are completely useless.

They are basically Kiper/Mayock/etc OPINION of what a team should do.  However, given that they are wrong more than they are right....and are drastically wrong in many cases, it just goes to show that they are not really experts.  And, people should take their opinions and grades with a big grain of salt.

 

We picked against their prediction for us.....therefore, their grade will be low as they have to prove why they were right to start with.

And as someone recently pointed out, those mocks are all based on need.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
