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.

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.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
