Draft "experts" , Do they know a damn thing?

Are there any other examples or data on whether any draft expert or non-expert actually gets it right consistently? So picking a QB who is 'ranked' at X spot in the first round, but not 1st if he is the best guy out there is stupid based on what? Mel Kipers big board? Get real. Nobody knows shit! Geno for president |

None of them know anything. The only value from draft "experts" comes roughly a week before the draft, when they've managed to filter enough rumors from teams to start to build a feasible picture of how the draft may play out. The rest of the time, it's a guessing game, some of it directed by agents.

Draft experts pimp the guys that they get paid to pimp...
Agents pay. Kiper combs his hair and fans swallow him like gospel... |

if history tells you anything at all, the draft is sort of a crap shoot for the most part. There is some skill involved as well as luck. It's sort of like texas holdem for the NFL if you think about it.

Check out the Huddle Report. They list and grade mock drafts and top 100 lists. Very insightful.
