Mel Kiper was only 22 percent accurate with his picks

His head looks like my ass with a bad haircut.

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.

I'd be more interested in seeing the average number of spots each pick is off by

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.

[Davidson Deac II]

Everyone knew what the first two would be, so he gets credit for 5 out of 30 really.  That being said, considering what a crapshoot it is for someone to predict draft picks, 5 out of 30 isn't that bad.

It's all bout dat hair...

[Fidel Cashflow]

Still beats the four picks Peter king nailed...
