Yeah that's the weird thing to me. What can these guys possibly do to raise or lower their "stock"?

It's all completely speculative in behalf of the draftniks who all feed off each other's takes.

Mingo apparently had a great interview with us last year prompted the front office to over draft him.   I think interviewing is one thing but most guys have 2-4 years of game film do go off of.  I think the interviewing part is overrated and can easily be manipulated

Yep, all the chatter just means less and less and gets more and more inaccurate as we get closer to the draft.  Look every year at qbs.  As the draft gets closer every year there are qbs that supposedly are raising more and more and then when the draft gets here thats hardly ever the case.

I think this board needs to put more respect on Mock Draft Simulators - they are VERY accurate.  Look at this one I did recently.  Keep in mind every trade I made was offered to me and I did not have forced trades on.  Clearly the algorithms are solid:

I also picked up 16 more picks in next year's draft ranging from rounds 2-7.

True and you can say the same thing about the combine.  it's overrated as poo.

In all facts of life some people know how to manipulate evaluations of all kinds.

I know people who interviewed well who don't know poo and those who interviewed poorly and missed out on jobs that they should have had. I know people who test well and are idiots and people who are brilliant but just suck at taking tests.

The only thing that really matters is the tape. You can gauge true performance and true progress if there's several years worth.

Now I know there are draftniks with connections who are getting fed stuff from insiders, but every bit of information is suspect. It all comes with an agenda and these draftniks are getting played, not that they are all that concerned because it gives them clicks. So I guess it's us who ultimately get played because we dig into this poo take it seriously thinking that we're educated.

This^. Mock Drafts are meaningless for predicting how the draft will fall. It's just a way to waste your time and ro play into the media hype machine.  

Get the list of top 5 players at each position coming out and hope your team gets as many of those players as they can. That's all you need to worry about.

this was the 1st round

It does prove that we are likely to get a player with potential first-round talent.  Since need is a factor, it is possible that a few players from this list will be there.

One thing about these rankings is who decides them? I mean there's a consensus, but it's just media consensus, right? And by consensus, I mean kind of sort of consensus.

Like who decides who the best players are? Who ranks them? Who's ranking do we go by? Is it all some hype machine? (Yes, it is)

And when we shout "just draft the BPA" who's list are we using?

Who decides who gets picked too early or falls below where they should have gotten drafted? Who decides where they should be drafted?

It's a conspiracy to convince you the sky is falling I tell ya. The next the you know dogs and cats will be fornicating with each other.

      cam Newton makes his return to Madden football

      By micnificent28 · Posted

      Little light hearted topic.. For whatever reason Cam Newton doesn't appear in Madden ultimate team every year for whatever reason like most legends. I personally believe it's due to them robbing him of appearing on the cover of the video game series during his peak years winning NFL rookie of the year and the MVP super bowl run.  Needless to say I'm a huge Competitive Madden ultimate team player spending hours of days crunching numbers and churning roster management. When this was announced it was a lightening rod in the Madden community. Competitive players know Newton is a game changer.. Your talking fastest quarterback in the game and highest throwing power in the game when he drops. That a long with. Unheard of ability at quarterback like freight train the ability to run over linebacker and corners and I was stoked. I m ashamed to say how much money threw at the game to try to pull newton and failed  But it's a big deal seeing as every pro Madden player most certainly has to have him on their roster and the card art is pretty sweet.

      Player-led approach

      By Icege · Posted

      A few different ways this can be taken depending on how you view things: Negative: This coaching staff is so inept that players are having to practically beg them to put them in situations that we as fans have been screaming for. How could David Tepper and Bryce Young do this to us? Positive: The coaches are listening to the players who are trusting the coaches! Neutral: Collaboration can lead to good things, so hopefully this starts the upward trend we've been waiting for.

      Our 2nd Most Productive WR

      By Icege · Posted

      I've been trying to tell y'all since preseason that Brycen Tremayne is the missing piece. 😛 XL, TMac, Coker, and Tremayne all dumpstering DBs when the team runs out of 10 personnel will be hilarious.
