Mel Kiper was only 22 percent accurate with his picks

Results like these are the very reason why listening to draft grades now is useless.

 

These so-called experts are no more experts than 75% of the people posting on the huddle.

 

 

75% are better than the NFL "experts"???? Kind of hard for that to be true when half the huddle doesn't watch the NFL outside of the games the Panthers play in. 

 

Nothing wrong with that, but to say 75% of the Huddle knows more about the NFL than the Mel Kiper's of the world is absurd.

That's pretty damned good, actually.  If you think that this is an indication that Kiper isn't doing his job, then you don't have a clue.

 

Mocks are really an ingenious way to not only kill time before the draft, they are a way tap into fan bases, educate them about the prospective draft class, and keep them intrigued and "tuned in".

the problem is that many look at where these "experts" say players should be drafted and uss absurd langauge such as "consensus" to judge whether a pick by their or any team was a wise one or a reach. all these guys parrot each other and do minimal research on individual players and teams which is why they get so many wrong. they don't know what teams know about their own situations. they don't know each team's schemes nor really care if players fit what they do. they don't know what teams value or what they are looking for or what things they are looking at to base their big boards by and are under a mistaken assumption that their (the draftniks) guesses that they pull out of their collective asses all match up that their consensus means something. they don't pull players into meetings and discuss scheme with them to decide their football knowledge, but that doesn't keep them from judging that.

point is, they just don't know which makes the notion that any of these guys are experts a ridiculous notion and really just make me laugh at anyone who bases their opinion on where someone should be drafted on what these hacks decide is the way to go.

sure, they are fun to look at, but they aren't to he taken seriously.

when rounds 5-7 roll around kiper knows a fug-ton more about those prospects than your average huddler.

 

obviously he's not going to be anywhere near 100% on his mocks, but neither is anyone else on the planet.

      Does he not already do that? The go route stuff is to just make space for the constant dink and dunk. That's why it dries up near the 20 where it gets tough.  Difficult to defend? Just get up in scores and lean into it. If they can send pressure without going too soft in coverage it will work agaisnt the Panthers.  I still think the offense is a QB away from instant improvement.

      About that schedule.

      I don't know how about 5 at this point. I think that window has closed. Getting the easy stuff early and being notoriously unprepared every year is blowing up in their faces. 3 might be the max. Good Bryce shows up when the other team is having a practice game or an off weak after watching our film. It's basically a sucker punch to teams mailing it in. Groundhog day? More like Groundhog year again

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      It's a weak take like it was a weak game. It was garbage time against backups. That's his shine time. It's should be made fun of because it was pathetic. The WRs were gassed? What about the backup DBs? Those guys must have been really tired since they sit on the bench most of the time. Take that BS and go whine to someone else. man or zone they played off the line and back 10 yards in soft ass coverage. That and practice is all Young is good at. When the other team plays like they want to win he shuts down. Same as last year. Blah blah blah
