Quest For Glory II posted:Matt Barkley, pick #98, 4th round pick I'm thinking of some chart or something that tracks how far off predictions are from the actual drafted slot of the player and by how far before the draft the predictions/"I'm hearings" are reported. Also one that lets you drill down on which reporters are the best/worst. I have absolutely no idea how to make this come about or if it makes sense. e: Rap posted:If I start a thread for this after the draft, would you want to help me work back through this draft and the previous one and add these up?

^^^^ I love this.Rap posted:Page views on Twitter are beyond meaningless. But there is a feeling among journalists that the public deserves to know (even if it's just, the public deserves to know what your source is saying) and there's a potential for wanting to please the source and not insult him/her by treating the information as not credible Oh, he linked to the story in the tweet, too: http://www.wgr550.com/Sources--Beckham--Jr--in-serious-consideration-for/9034669?pid=400271 Another possibility: the beat writers' sources are from outside the franchise and the ones being spun?

A rehash, but this time by 538. http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/no-team-can-beat-the-draft/ quote:Even if we look at executives drafts in three-year segments which is, by definition, conditional on a GM retaining his job for six seasons (an eternity in the what-have-you-done-for-me-lately world of the NFL) the relationship between drafting performance from one three-year span and the next is weak at best.

It's been extremely clear for many years now that first rounders aren't remotely worth what they're trumpeted as. I remember people heavily criticizing the Seahawks trading draft picks for Percy Harvin. They somehow never took in account that the chances of drafting a player of Harvin's talent aren't nearly as reliable as using that same draft pick to "draft" an actual Percy Harvin. And what did Minnesota do with that draft pick they got? Tried to draft a replacement for Harvin. (Now obviously in hindsight the Harvin trade doesn't look that great for Seattle)

Ian Rapoport apparently just said on NFL Network that he "thinks" Manziel goes to the Vikings. Even keeping in mind the draft-week reports from the last page, I do hope that happens. Although it won't be as sweet without seeing Gendo's reaction.

At this point the only thing that hasn't been said about Manziel or Bridgewater in terms of when/where they're going is that one of them is going undrafted. Rooting for the comedy option, let's do this.

Quest For Glory II posted:I could maybe contribute here and there, literally all I'm doing is searching player names on Rotoworld because the 3rd day picks often ONLY have news relating to their draft since they often don't contribute enough to make a headline otherwise. What I'm getting from all these is that Jason La Canfora is about as reliable as my first car was. RIP Blue Frawwwwg.

I think I remember Gendo saying he'd be okay with JFF, since he does have decent potential, but I could be completely misremembering it. Either way, I wouldn't freak out if we got him, we could do much much worse at QB with the 8th pick. As such, I'm fully anticipating we grab Boyd, because the Ponder pick scarred me.

Alright I got about 6 hours before the draft hits and I have 54 players prepped and ready. Last year I had 44 and missed 3 picks, so I feel good but not totally confident yet. Even though the last several on this list are sort of joke picks that I highly doubt will go anywhere in the 1st, gotta play it safe. So I'll ask again. Who might be a reach candidate for the first round? 1. Jadeveon Clowney DE South Carolina 2. Greg Robinson OT- Auburn 3. Khalil Mack OLB Buffalo 4. Sammy Watkins WR Clemson 5. Jake Matthews OT Texas A&M 6. Teddy Bridgewater QB Louisville 7. Johnny Manziel QB Texas A&M 8. Blake Bortles QB Central Florida 9. Anthony Barr OLB UCLA 10. Mike Evans WR Texas A&M 11. Marqise Lee WR USC 12. Eric Ebron TE North Carolina 13. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix S- Alabama 14. CJ Mosley ILB Alabama 15. Taylor Lewan OT Michigan 16. Timmy Jernigan DT Florida State 17. Zack Martin OT Notre Dame 18. Brandon Cooks WR Oregon State 19. Austin Seferian-Jenkins TE Washington 20. David Yankey OG Stanford 21. Xavier Su'a-Filo, -OG- UCLA 22. Dee Ford DE Auburn 23. Kony Ealy DE- Missouri 24. Jason Verrett CB TCU 25. Kyle Fuller CB Virginia Tech 26. Derek Carr QB Fresno State 27. Odell Beckham WR LSU 28. Louis Nix DT Notre Dame 29. Justin Gilbert CB Oklahoma State 30. Darqueze Dennard CB Michigan state 31. Aaron Donald DT Pittsburgh 32. Calvin Pryor S Louisville 33. Ra'Shede Hageman DT- Minnesota 34. Ryan Shazier- OLB- Ohio State 35. Bradley Roby -CB- Ohio State 36. Morgan Moses OT Virginia 37. Cody Latimer WR Indiana 38. Jace Amaro -TE - Texas Tech 39. Joel Bitonio OT Nevada 40. Dominique Easley DT Florida 41. Demarcus Lawrence, DE Boise 42. Jimmie Ward, S Northern Illinois 43. Cyrus Kouandjio, T Alabama 44. Allen Robinson, WR Penn 45. Carlos Hyde, RB Ohio 46. Stephon Tuitt, DT Notre Dame 47. Lamarcus Joyner, CB Florida State 48. Kelvin Benjamin, WR Florida State 49. AJ McCarron QB Alabama 50. Kyle Van Noy LB BYU 51. Tom Savage QB - Pittsburgh 52. Jimmy Garoppolo QB Eastern Illinois 53. Ja'Wuan James OT Tennessee 54. Stan Jean-Baptiste CB - Nebraska Those last two I got off Kiper's last mock, even though even I can guess those are terrible choices.

Your example skews the argument if you use a veteran player trade as an example because now you have to take in the cap and contracts as a factor. Seattle was in a rare situation where they could give up a pick and sign a large deal.
