Charles Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Thought more about this. I'm not surprised the graph posted earlier in the thread shows a very similar arc between the two. The whole industry of mock drafts, rankings, etc seem to be more influenced by predictions of what teams will do rather than objective opinions of what they should do. I'd be curious to see what sources are used to make the consensus board, and then track its evolution as rumor, inside info, etc is factored in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefer Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 (edited) I feel like you always have to be cognizant of the big board. Famously, the 1970s Steelers had John Stallworth rated higher than Lynn Swann, but Swann went to USC so a 1st round pick was needed for him. Stallworth went to Bama AM so they waited all the way till the 4th to draft him. Edited June 6, 2022 by Chiefer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know the one that outside pundits use to grade whether something is a reach, steal, or the right value. It reminds me of how very few investors can actually beat an index fund. Which brings me to why I’m personally bringing this up. The Tweet below does make me wonder if those scouts and FO people really need to be spending this much time on prospects. At what point are you having diminishing returns? Like investing in the stock market, should your team just do normal hours and go by the consensus board rather than their own and have reaches? https://mobile.twitter.com/PFF_Moo/status/1526819499617419265 https://mobile.twitter.com/PFF_Moo/status/1526822190359912450 https://mobile.twitter.com/PFF_Moo/status/1526822395088195585 I’m sure someone has had to have mentioned this by now but the consensus big board is LARGELY made up from the inputs they get from team sources. So this is somewhat of a chicken or the egg situation. The consensus big board if left up to the media personalities alone would look AWFULLY different if teams took a 9-5 approach and then didn’t feed them a stream of sourced info to build a consensus board around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
