I'll be honest with you, the name Caleb Williams makes me think of the Muppet Musicians of Bremen "Mean Old Caleb Siles" song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEFG9jBHSek

If the Lions pick the BPA at 29, who is that? I guess the consensus need position is CB, they're pretty good at nickel/safety/okay at LB. But basically don't have starting caliber corners Another need is an offensive lineman who can play whenever Jonah Jackson is hurt, and Goff is completely reliant on an intact line. Could probably also use a DT. Is it just going to end up being whichever cb like mock drafts are saying?

Ornery and Hornery posted:It’s obviously difficult to say at this point. That's what I was wondering, I'm extremely new to paying attention to NFL draft scouting beyond looking at mocks now and again, but it seems to pay off to draft out of the "there are lots of good X position guys in this year's first" pools, cause your odds of getting a good player seem to pick up a bit. and picking to bolster a strength instead of to patch a weakness is not a bad idea.

Grozz Nuy posted:If you sit him for two years you're wasting two seasons of his rookie deal. Anybody who needs to sit for that long just isn't that good of a prospect. I get the cap argument. We literally have it right now with mr irrelevant and the highest paid and best qb (who was taking a discount but got his contract adjusted to be ahead of Chris Jones in yearly pay). But what about the fact that all the best QBs sat a year? https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/...likely-succeed/ I would almost sit my rookie QB for a year just to get that good juju going. If you check that chart it's insane how many of the top qbs sat for at least a year. And Jordache love looks like he's going to be a member of the "sat for at least a year and became great" group NFL offense is hard and it really seems to help guys processing to participate in practice and be mentored a little bit before setting off. the day 1 starters are not a happy group

What kind of jaded entertainer do you have to be to not even watch film or be aware of NFL team needs? It's literally the easiest poo poo and just takes a modicum of effort. I absolutely love Mel as a TV personality, but they definitely fired the guy who knows more about the thing he's supposed to be covering (Todd McShay)

What are your personal weird rules of thumb for scouting/the draft? I've been really into basketball prospect scouting and I have a handful of principles that are sacred to me, but most don't know about or just don't care about them. Do you guys have any personal tests you use, or weirdly specific lines you won't cross?

Doltos posted:I'd say it's less exception proves the rule and more that there are no rules. I think it's equally as silly to drat someone for having an ugly girlfriend as it is for having small hands. The short arms thing on linemen is bad in my opinion because I've yet to see anything that short arms are that debilitating in the NFL. Against my own preference, body catches are totally viable and plenty of guys catch with their body who also snatch the ball out of the air. I just think that grabbing the ball away from the body displays hand eye coordination and mindfullness to utilize your arms to create separation. To be fancy, it's a heuristic, not a law

Doltos posted:If JJ is QB3 it's based entirely on potential and zero what he showed at Michigan. Even for a Jim Harbaugh offense he was a checkdown machine. He's got not timing on sideline routes or middle seams. I think it's going to be a disaster pick but who knows? this is my least favorite type of prospect, where both numbers and eye test say …🤷 But there’s all this hype about how real scouts love them due to winning and secret traits that didn’t show on the field do those guys pan out? ever? genuinely asking

Cash Monet posted:In terms of just bottom line production taking a tight end in the top 10 probably isn't good value. like travis kelce, brock bowers is a TE in name only, ie he is a white guy you can pay less than if he had WR by his name. he plays like travis kelce, ie wr who blocks a few times per game, not like gronk, or any other actual TE you could name and wide receivers are drafted in the top 10 every year so the question is, do you look at his tape and think he is a really good wide receiver, if yes, then draft him. If you don’t, then don’t imho a lot of people are weighing in without actually knowing how he plays Dejan Bimble fucked around with this message at 21:19 on Feb 21, 2024 |

Brock Bowers is a good value for the Raiders at 13, playing a very shrug of a guy at QB, that power slot stuff turns dump offs and check downs into first downs, will possibly trick people into thinking Aidan (loving gen z rear end QB name) is something more than a scrappy Irish lad

Relentlessboredomm posted:didnt they sign Gardner Minshew? I assume that's who's starting Yeah you're right, I completely missed that. Gardner will inevitably end up hurt though, so just pretend that's already happened and then my post is right. Maybe Gardner and Brock can make some magic happen together

mcmagic posted:I'm sure Penix loves to hear this lol I honestly think they mollify him by telling him Cousins is going to miss the opening few games of the season, and he'll get some starting reps. Cause Cousins tore his achilles on oct 29, probably had surgery a couple days afterwards. That means the season will be like 8 games in by the time he clears a year, which is a normal time to just "be back" from an achilles, with the full recovery taking 1.5-2 years, not full as in status quo ante, but as good as it's going to get.

wandler20 posted:And he's in his late 30s so might not heal as fast. He's gonna get Bledsoe'd without playing a snap. It's crazy, right? The Penix pick at 8 looks like the most extreme and rapid case of buyer's remorse in free agency that I can remember. Like I hope Cousins bounces back and it's all fine, everything is cool for all time, but this could end in such a brutal fashion. quote:https://www.reddit.com/r/minnesotavikings/comments/1925t33/an_achilles_tear_is_almost_always_a_terminal/ No NFL starting QB ever tore an achilles before Rogers/Cousins. But it's brutal for skill players. I am incredibly dubious either of the two will be anything but a shell of their prior selves. And if they have to throw entirely from their torso up, expect arm/shoulder/back injuries. I think Minnesota dodged an $180 million dollar bullet, or about 45 patriot interceptor missiles worth of dollhairs. This has to be a "cousins isn't going to come back in prior form ever" panic pick Dejan Bimble fucked around with this message at 06:23 on Apr 26, 2024 |

Forgive me if anyone else has brought this up, but isn't the "always trade down" crowd missing the obvious that this is only a functional strategy if you have someone willing to give a fair value for the trade down? Takes two to tango and all that. The NFL is very chummy so it wouldn't be surprising if there were plenty of times a team would maybe wish to trade down, but none of their friend-teams were interested, so you just make the pick. different but related thing There was a guy on kevin clark's podcast talking about how you should value a draft by the second contract values of the picks, which is fine but the value of the rookie deal is huge part of why a pick in itself is valuable. Teams really like a functional player on a cheap deal. Even if their second contract is just at the median, those initial cheap years are great ROI. Also ignores developmental guys whose second deals will be lower Dejan Bimble fucked around with this message at 00:39 on Apr 29, 2024 |

Play posted:No that's totally correct. It's often difficult or impossible to find a partner to trade down with, usually it comes entirely at the behest of the team that wants to trade up. Right. football is such a synergistic game that certain guys might not be high value second contract players but their existence makes it possible for someone else to be that. I'm not saying that gut hunch picking and trading up are more optimal, just that there's way more to it than just more picks for more guys who make more money in their second deal. I've really come to appreciate football cause you can't just flatten things out, there's so much nuance and intangible stuff involved
