I absolutely knew Clelin could go at #4

...says every draft analyst after the fact. However, before the draft some had him falling as low as 28.

I was very surprised he went at #4 I honestly thought he would go between 15-20.

Men at 25 play football. Men at 40 play tennis. Men at 60 play golf. Have you noticed as men get older their balls get smaller.


Draft Analysts are click bait workers

The reason every sports site does Mock Drafts is because people read them and that generates ad revenue. The problem with having 100s of desk jockeys creating their own mock draft dozens of times in the month leading up to the draft is that they all influence each other. It's like that scene in Dead Poet's Society where all the students eventually start walking in step with each other. It's human nature to conform. And when you see the projection for Cle-Missile as 15-20th pick long enough, you begin to believe that's what will happen because 100s of "experts" have said that it will be so.

And every year the experts are humbled. But fear not... we'll all forget that they don't actually know WTH they're talking about by this time next year. Personally, I'm amazed that Mel Kiper gets paid for his opinion. He'll get clicks all day today for writing about how stupid NFL GMs are with their crappy picks because they didn't pick who he said they should pick.

I waffle between being depressed for the state of humanity and being elated by the chaos of it all.

The best part was when John Keating said

"Language was invented for one reason, boys - to woo women -
and, in that endeavor, laziness will not do. It also won’t
do in your essays.” That was a great movie.

They don't do it because they want to conform. They do it cause they are lazy.. why do a lot of work analyzing 300 footbal players? Just copy what that guy says, change a couple things, and move on to wasting time on tnet.

Kiper and McShay, etc. have no consequences when wrong

The general managers of the various NFL organizations have just a bit more pressure on them.

These analysts this morning are talking down a guy like Ferrell who is a huge talent and also a high character guy then they follow with a piece on an NFL star who is accused of beating his three year old son.

CHARACTER is and should be weighed heavily in the draft selection process!

Is held accountable?

As long as you push the company agenda and get clicks you are safe.
