Take Away from Todd McShay's Way too Early Draft

Recommended Posts

This is an ESPN insider so I will just post the relevant things from his article.

http://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2017/insider/story/_/id/19294111/todd-mcshay-way-too-early-2018-mock-draft-nfl-draft

1) He has Sam Darnold from USC being the #1 overall pick with the Browns sucking and picking 1st for the 100th season

2) Carolina drafts 26th...Sam Hubbard, DE, Ohio State - Hubbard, who is 6-foot-5, 265 pounds, was disruptive in his first season as a full-time starter, posting eight tackles for loss and four QB hurries. This draft choice means that he thinks Carolina (barring trade backs/up) loses out at the Division Series but a playoff team nonetheless. 

3) Matty Meltdown and Atlanta Drafts 24th.

4) The only 3 teams he has picking after Carolina are Dallas (28), Green Bay (29) and Seattle (31). 

5) He has Seattle v. NE in the Super Bowl with NE winning again.

What say you? Would a division title and playoff appearance be ok given the letdown of 2016 or would an assumed playoff berth be sufficient.

Lots of speculation based on the above but hey, offseason.

 

Oh, and RUN CMC is the man.

Super Bowl or bust.  No, not kidding, and no, nothing else will suffice.  Of course I don't expect anyone to predict that nationally and that's respect from McShay.  But when healthy no team is more capable or able, and we obviously must get one before TD retires.

I saw his too early draft from last year and he got I think 15 or 20 out of 25 first round picks correct, which isn't too bad at all when you think about it. Don't pay attention to where they are taken number wise, just make note of the prospects for the coming year because their stock can rise and fall, and they will be rated higher on some boards than others. 

Still a good base for any draft/scouting guys to start with going into next year.

That's damn good if those numbers are accurate.

Hubbard may not be available by our pick at 32.

 

On a serious note, he's a stud. He'll go in the Top 10. He came into college as a freaking SS then Ohio State made him into a OLB/DE. Hubbard is a freak of nature.

Say what? Did you say SS? That's one big SS.

WHY DOES GETTLEDOUCHE KEEP IGNORING THE SAFETY POSITION??!?!?!?!?!?!?

He came to the Buckeyes at 6'3".

Now he's 6'5". By the time he's eligible for the draft, he'll be 6'6" at the very least.

The 6-2/253 fullback the Panthers just drafted was a 6-0/210 outside linebacker coming out of high school.

    • As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
