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!

These are, for the most part, guys who got lucky with jobs that put them in a position to push their 'opinion' onto people as an 'expert' draft analyst. There is nothing that they do that you or I could not do. It's a matter of watching tape and evaluating raw talent, fundamentals, mannerisms, and leadership.
In short, Kiper and McShay are no smarter than my cousin Larry who lives in a trailer park on disability and watches game tape all day. They are the same, only Kiper and McShay have legs and most of their teeth.

Here's my deal.
I don't listen to what Kiper or Mayock say about draft prospects until I've already done my own research on specific players. Once I've done that, I then compare my OWN information with what the "experts" are saying and see how our reports compare. It's more fun to see if you can match their scouting report without even reading it. Making your own judgments is better than basing your entire opinion off of what one "media scout" is saying. |

A bunch of dudes watching YouTube clips are much more qualified. Reid should just ask us when he's on the clock amirite?

Kiper is to the draft experts of the media as Mecca is to the draftubators of CP.....

And the obvious follow up question is whether NFL scouts and GMs are very good, either?

There are no experts...only guys who have lots of connections.
Rick Gooselin is a perfect example.

Mock drafts are fun to look at and make you think about how certain guys would fit with different teams, but really they mean nothing. I don't even consider mock drafts until after the combine. But yeah sometimes when I get bored I'll put some names together in March and April.

We can tell by how many are looking for new jobs each season.
