Is he OK? He's not taking this very well I'm sure. 

It will never happen but I wish some folks would simply say "damn I was wrong as hell about x player"

 

I know for me I posted a few times that if the Panthers were hell bent on drafting a rookie qb I would go tackle at 6, trade cmac for a first and pick howell.  Holy fug that would have been a disaster.  NFL scouts obviously see some major major issues with Howell and these guys

They just got zapped!

Honestly, after the Senior Bowl, people were panning Zappe's arm strength but he must have shown enough of the rest to be drafted over the two guys with the big arms.  Definitely shows the disparity between consensus mocks & rankings of the scouting depts vs. online/publications

It's why you should ignore mock drafts. Each team has its own scouts and set the board by the way they see the draft benefitting their team. 

You could put them all together and you couldn't find any of them agreeing on the number one over all much less specific positions.

It’s not just mock drafts. Zappe doesn’t have an nfl arm. Howell does. Jokes aside it’s just shocking.

Lesson learned. Stop believing the media, mocks and online big boards. Form opinions based on your own research and rephrase what you say about them to “this is who I would like us to draft”. Outside of the verge everything else most of you guys say is pure horse poo. Be happy when a guy you liked tape on is drafted and if you don’t know anything about someone that was drafted research and wait for camp before you start putting the ass in assume.

I enjoy them, it's just people trying to guess the draft correctly at the end of the day.  Fans shouldn't take them as draft guides for building their perception of who should go when.

Verge said numerous times that Willis wouldnt make it out of the top 10

    • Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.          
    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
