no man i totally get what he's saying like if only the best player in each of these drafts somehow fell to us we would've won these last three superbowls

and i can't help but to feel that it's somehow gettleman's fault that they didn't

"If history unfolded in a complete different way in only during the desired years we would be a better team and so I will use that to criticize the team."

Thatso a good one

I don't get the purpose of calling out Kiper. 99% of mocks are wrong.

True as long as you understand its all for entertainment. There is no way for him or anyone to take in to account the thoughts and strategy and opinions  of one team much less all of them. Once a prediction or 2 is off its going to diverge quickly

Allen, Fournette and Barnett are all there at 8... what do you do?

I know what I do...

Nevermind... the wife had the perfect answer...

Me: if Barnett, Allen, Fournette and Foster are all there at 8, what do you do?

Wife: Gather all 7 dragon balls.

No team uses Mel Kiper as a source of information. He has no influence on the draft or who teams draft. Let's be serious here. He writes stuff that people click on and read and argue about. That's it.

Teams actually do(as well as some other high profile mockers) because he has developed sources at this point and can tip teams off to who a team ahead of them might be selecting.

 

for example, McShay actually knew the Dolphins wanted Juwaun James really bad and when doing a mock draft with Kiper on TV started singing rocky top because he wasn't allowed to make the pick in any of his mocks

Mel does not think the kid from Clemson is a top pick.....

The guy is a moron.

I think GMs purposely  feed him inaccurate info to get a kick out of his foolishness.

Watson is clutch, but I don't really trust his entire body of work. That isn't a a hot take opinion. There are legit questions about him.

Since Kiper is never correct and can in this scenario be tipping anything to anyone a team would be foolish to pay any attention to him.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Joe Person Draft Weekend inside info

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
