2019 NFL Draft Thread v5.0

[OldManWillis]

Actually I love the move. Only a few people need to see that board. The scouts have already done their jobs, no need for them to see it and possibly leak info.

I'm sure Mayock and Gruden have known which prospects they love for some time already. If your team is still scouting prospects and have no idea who they like with a week to go to the draft then you're in trouble.

Saw this on twitter. All overblown. 

 

Scouts were sent home for Easter because the rest of the week is devoted to simulating draft process/trades/etc. This has been known for a while, according to Raiders reporters. Fewer people, fewer leaks. Seems like a good way to prep and run a draft.

Definitely will make draft day more interesting.

The most you can expect on a Mock is maybe 18-19 and that’s the pros. The average is probably less than 10. 

He guaranteed 30/32 then 32/32. He shouldn't have guaranteed something he has zero chance of doing.

Can't really fire your entire scouting department two months before the draft.

Why all the scouting is pretty much done right?

Just a dumb asumption from Barnwell to get a foothold in the dumb story of the day. Every team has a "secret plan" at this time. If they don't, they're screwed. Making it seem like we are doing something crazy by protecting our board just like everyone else for clicks is what should be scary. But that social media climate we have to live in. We don't have to buy into it, hook line and sinker, like I saw happen earlier when the "report" come out.

I think because they know too much information about where we want to go/who we will target. If we fire our whole team another could easily poach them to get all our insider info.

I’ll probably release my final mock Tuesday Morning.

The team needs elite talent across the board. We shouldn't pass up on a dynamic playmaker for a worse player because he plays defense. I guarantee you that one of our first four picks will be used on an offensive player. Our WR group is meh after AB/TW, we need a TE, RG could be an early pick, and we could use another RB as well. 

so imo id rather find a te or rb that a 3rd wr….just me.

[Trojan]

I don't know if it's common knowledge but there is a predict the first 15 picks as a free contest on Draft Kings (if it's allowed where you live/your age) when you are on the contest page it's the background image Wrangler Draft contest. Also there is another free predict the pick contest on NFL site (the first 32 picks) at https://predictpick.nfl.com if anyone was interested.

edit: also if you've never done them the team is irrelevant. You get points based off how close the prospect went to the number overall like 100 points if Bosa goes 4 and you predicted 4, but you get 50 still if he went 3rd overall instead. Might change your strategy for picks or whatever.
