Interesting "Consensus" Big Board

Every year, I’ve managed to collect over 40 draft boards and combine them not only to create a cheat sheet for people to follow along in the draft, but to get a better sense of what the draft looks like and why certain players may fall.

Last year, we were able to identify highly-touted players that could contribute as UDFAs, like Justin Coleman, as well as the fact that Stefon Diggs’ overall rankings didn’t mean much: some were very high on him. The fact that athletic and highly-rated tackle Jake Fisher fell all the way to pick 53 was predictable by this method, as the forecaster board had him ranked 52 overall.

And we saw that Sean Mannion, despite not being good at football, would be highly coveted by teams—enough to earn a Day 2 pick.

Gman will trade up for Ramsey. 

I'm not even sure I can comprehend the amount of picks we would have to give up to be able to draft Ramsey.

2016 1st, 2017 1st and 2018 1st is your starting point. Now throw in some 2nds and 3rds and you're probably close.

I'm interested in Paxton Lynch being in our neighborhood presenting itself for a trade.

Doubtful that happens. It seems like the late teens-early 20s are his floor right now with his ceiling being the 7th pick. All sorts of rumors of teams being willing to trade up to get him. If he got past the Jets at 20 and that seems like a really big if then the Cards, Browns and Broncos seem willing to move up into the 20s to get him. Cards rumors are somewhat speculative, but there are rumors they want to move up and there are known to be interested in acquiring a QB of the future for when Carson hangs it up. So that one is more putting 2 and 2 together. Some of it could be smoke but there are so many of them that at least one of them is bound to be true.

It wouldn't take 3 1sts. Would still be stupid though.

Matt miller thinks we can go WR

 

Carolina Panthers: The Panthers have been linked to pass-rushers throughout the draft process, but sources in the scouting room expect a defensive back to get the most attention in Round 1. I'm told by coaching staff sources in Carolina that the team has done heavy work on Ohio State wide receiver Michael Thomas; he may be a surprise Round 1 pick.

Eh... I hope not.  I mean, I'm not the draft guru, but I'm not fond of this one.  I'd be 5x happier getting Shepard in the 2nd, than Thomas in the 1st.

Hadn't seen this.  Nice resource.  I like how they include the variance and also the position ranking.  I'll definitely add position ranking if/when I do more draft analysis next year.  That's a very helpful metric to include.

So.... looking at that position ranking info, wow, it really reinforces how top-heavy this draft is on defense.

18 DTs / Interior defenders in top 100

12 DEs / Edge defenders in top 100

8 CBs

9 safeties

47% of the top 100 at these 4 positions alone... not even counting LBs....

 

By contrast:

3 centers

4 guards

6 QBs

7 RBs

3 TEs

11 WRs

That's 34 players at 6 positions....

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
