Can't hit the short throws. Completed 72% of his passes and threw 6 interceptions all year. Yeah...that all makes sense. |

Glennon's lack of instincts, awareness and feel for situation on display. Minus intangibles. Shows poor burst, and lacks even average speed for position. Has a strong right front appendage, but instincts and lack of athleticism limit his ability to use it to his advantage. |

I think people are still overrating Bucky Brooks a tad even though he has suddenly mocked Geno to KC because of Andy Reid. Remember, he's been one of those reeruns who consistently projects a LT to Kansas City so Albert can move to guard. He talked about it in 2011 AND 2012.
Former scout or not, he's still nothing more than an NFL-endorsed media whore who does zero research on the ACTUAL needs and practicalities of each team that he researches. And sorry to say, but that's half of being a draft analyst. You can provide great analysis on players all you want, but if you can't see how they might potentially fit in on particular teams very well, then your job is ****ing worthless in the eyes of football fans. |

Kobe Bryant and most other elite athletes do the same thing. He is bookmarking them as motivation for when he arrives in the NFL. |
Truefan post from another board (might be the one that most motivates me to go buy some antifreeze and force-feed it to someone yet):
"I might be tempted to take the Alabama Center, he plays center, guard and tackle. A&M might not be a bad pick either, depends on the center situation. This might be the year to trade down, but not too far down and only for great compensation." I had forgotten when I got called a moron/racist. Thanks for bumping that, aturnis. Was that really only yesterday? |

My take on the OL-piners? Many football fans are EXTREMELY conservative in their views of the game. This take is reinforced by all the talking heads they see on TV, who are either old coaches, old players, or entrenched media members. The OL piners are guys who are hardcore-enough fans to watch ESPN a lot and listen to talk radio and watch the Chiefs religiously, but they don't like change. They don't like or understand the wealth of knowledge and information available to the average joe because of the wonder that is the internet.
Side note: Can you guys imagine what Akili Smith's stock would have been perceived as by the average fan had he been around in the age of YouTube (When anyone can watch game film and most prospects have "every throw" videos available?). Anyway, there is NO league where "new and different" is as hated as the NFL. But I would bet that the OL-piners and the BPA-available guys, these average Joe Footballfans, would have some interesting thoughts on other sports, too. The conservatism would seep in. For example, in baseball, they would be extremely anti-SABRE. In the NBA, they'd hate the illegal defense, so on and so forth. |
