    NFL Draft Predictions - a pointless game, but at least it has a $$ prize for the winner

    Busy work day + internet problems limits my time/ability to jump into the discussion right now, but here is the winner by my count: @INMT with 20 points. I will hold sending payout until Monday, so if anyone thinks I miscounted you have a few days to throw the review flag.

    5 are a lock. 6 is 50-50. This is a great year to be drafting 12-15 and needing defense. We are looking at up to 6 QBs, 3 WRs and 2 OTs drafted in the top 12.

    Moron - and we do know why you said that 'cuz you're a -- moron. Good thing they turnoff the camera, as his next question was, "could you go into the kitchen and make me a sandwich?" Been a great week for MN senate -- first a DFLer breaks into her step-mother's house in the middle of the...

    I agree - some qbs had success after switching (ie, Manning, Brees, Stafford etc) but they were successes before switching. It seems like either you can process at the NFL level speed and complexity or you can't.

    As commissioner of my own contest I am allowing this late submission. But the picks are printed out and no more will be considered.

    Many many examples, but let's start at the top. Coming out of college both Mahomes and Allen had concerns about footwork and turnover worthy plays propensity. Both improved footwork and reduced dumb throws working with good coaching staffs.

    Lamar was a better passer in college and a better passer in NFL than Fields. He still uses his feet more than I would like, but he is not a "running back with an arm" in my view. There are "stiff pocket passers" (think Cousins, Carr), "fluid pocket passers" who can move enough and sense...

    My favorite quote when we are hiring new folks at work -- there is a big difference between 5 years of experience and 1 year of experience 5 times.

    Unfortunately for him, those attributes are necessary but not sufficient to be a great NFL qb. Above the neck is half the game and he just doesn’t see the field and make sufficiently fast decisions to be a worthwhile starter.

    I agree with the first half - not at all clear there is proof of the second half.

    Yup. NFL is a win now league. Just look at how draft picks are valued. The general consensus is that you take a one round deduction to pick swap a this year’s pick for next year’s. For example you would get a next year round 2 in return for this year’s round 3. So, if you were managing for the...

    4 more hours to get in your picks. At noon central I will print out the list and no more entries or edits after that.

    Nah - we will forever be 7-10. Heck last year lost our QB, best WR in the league, a top tackle and a top TE and are picking 11. If there ever was a time to tank it was last year - but that was apparently too much to ask of the football gods.

    Whatever happened to..?

    Who is/was Jose Cuervo? I hate the stupid name change thing.

    If you are suggesting Purdy is as good as Mahomes then you need to move on over to the Devil’s Lettuce thread ‘cuz you definitely smoking something.
