*apparently false scores leaked* STROUD SCORES 18% ON S2 TEST (or maybe not)

This place will explode if they do not take Young.  They will sound like Jets fans with all the booing and predictions of failure for whoever is taken.  As much as I love Young I'm still not 100% sure he's the pick.

Not being a jerk, just being curious, why do you think he’s not the sure fire pick for us?

I'm eager to see if this is the lowest S2 scored since they've introduced it. That seems absurdly low lol

 

It’s a percentile test. If the score is true it means 18 % of all football players that have taken the test has scored lower than him while 72% have scored higher. 

 

Cognitive test aren’t graded like a grade school test.

Can't speak for snow, but I would say while Young is probably the pick, you never know until you hear the name read.

(that's why the draft always makes me nervous) 😣

What I thought too but I thought about it and what is he gonna say? “Well they all did pretty well except this one guy, I’m not sure how he wipes his ass or eats without assistance”.

Yeah. Very well could be leaked by the Texans or some other top team to prep their fanbase for passing on him. Who knows?

I don’t get why it’s a big deal that it is leaked to the public. The team’s already had the info, it’s not like it was hidden from them. This is just for us fans to have insight to why someone could/would drop.

 

cc: @vorbisbc this is a good topic for discussion

the shtick with Bob McGinn's prospect rankings (which are VERY thorough and often go against conventional narratives in insightful ways) is that he polls scouts from all over the league, and grants them anonymity. he includes their thoughts verbatim in his rankings, where he puts prospects into tiers.

I think most of us can understand how the anonymity approach can be really interesting, but also how it can be weaponized or misused to rapidly change perceptions of a prospect in the week leading up to the draft. maybe the truth is being told, but maybe a team feels like if they can make a prospect slide on draft weekend, they can get a good deal out of it. the thing is, we just don't know which is which, thanks to the anonymity thing.

My only thought on the S2 guy is if he was leaking bad scores it may look bad on him in terms of mass adoption of his product. Though they get leaked anyway clearly by the NFL teams, so probably irrelevant.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
