    A poster that works hard on scouting, from Ram Stalk. They use blue font.

    Except there, blue font is code for “while I am mildly puzzled, I am also a bit intrigued.”

    I think.

    Todd McShay, Mel Kiper Jr candidly discuss value of mock drafts
    May 15, 2014 By paulmbanks 1 Comment
    http://www.thesportsbank.net/nfl-mock-drafts/todd-mcshay-mel-kiper-jr/
    todd-mcshay-espn

    Both Todd McShay and Mel Kiper Jr, the NFL Draftniks of all NFL Draftniks do multiple conference calls with the media previewing the NFL Draft. The attendance for these calls is RIDICULOUS. These calls often last up to two hours, and many journalists don’t even get their questions in. ESPN doesn’t transcribe them because they would end up being like 40 pages long.

    Mike Mayock of NFL Network does one as well, which took three hours and clocked in at 30 pages on the transcript. That’s how insane the media appetite is for Todd McShay and company. Safe to say this was the most over-hyped and pointlessly over-analyzed NFL Draft in history. The extra weeks of wait and the presence of Johnny Manziel had a lot to do ti.

    michael-irvin-seven-round-nfl-mock-draft-todd-mcshay

    NFL mock drafts are fine pieces of journalism. If every journalism class you took was taught by Rex Chapman and Jalen Rose. All mock drafts are extremely inaccurate, nearly all the time. They’re not based on any type of actual inside information. No one is an “insider.” That’s just a B.S. term that networks through out to market themselves. Why do you think NFL teams call them “war rooms?”

    Because, it’s all classified. They guard the secrets like CentComm. Look at how Jacksonville protected the the Blake Bortles smokescreen the whole time? No journalists are giving up those secrets. However, mock drafts are a ton of fun and they always gets an insane amount of traffic, because you just can’t help but click on them. That’s why I do so many of them.

    You. Have. To.

    Click and see who your team has mocked to them. Where that kid from alma mater is slotted to go. On Monday, both Todd McShay and Mel Kiper Jr. gave media conference calls, and since this was post draft, the media horde was much smaller and way more manageable. Some dude asked both men the same question about the value of mock drafts.

    espn-booger-mcfarland-todd-mcshay

    Having been on several of these calls, with both Todd McShay and Mel Kiper, I can tell you that Kiper comes off as the guy you’d rather have a beer with. By a long shot. He’s friendlier and more down to Earth about it all than Todd McShay. Maybe it’s just the way he is, his personality. Kiper really seems to be into this stuff. You can tell from his enthusiasm for this material that he truly eats, sleeps and breathes this content. So we’ll start with him.

    Kiper said it’s more about trying to get as many picks in the first round as possible than it is getting the picks exactly right. He said he got six this year, and his all time high one year was eight.

    mel-kiper

    “The only thing I care about it how many kids I get in the first round, you try to get anywhere between 24-28 and this year I got 26,” Kiper said, before mentioning that 28 was his all time high.

    “You’re talking about a very difficult process, with trades and you always have, you try to give a range of where they’re going to go. You might be one or two picks off, but at least you give people an idea of where they might come off the board and also track the progression of the player through the process, his his perception changes, is the perception reality.”

    mel-kiper-jr

    “That’s what the NFL Draft is, it’s great reality TV, no one knows what’s going to happen because we can’t get inside those war rooms.”

    I totally agree, it is reality television, and this was the Jersey Shore of all NFL Drafts. This draft unfolded PERFECTLY on Thursday and Sunday for the NFL, NFL Network and ESPN. It was the exact scrip they hoped for: drama about when Johnny Manziel and AJ McCarron would go, would Michael Sam get picked? It was all there.

    Now on to Todd McShay.

    todd-mcshay

    He said that he hadn’t even looked at how he did. By Monday. I don’t believe that for one second and neither should you.

    “I assume that no one did all that well, the bottom line is I want to get as many guys as possible, 25-26-27 as first rounders in that range. There’s always going to be trades, surprises, I’ve always said mock drafts are more for people like Adam Schefter, Chris Mortensen, guys that get information, than they are for guys who are evaluating tape,” Todd McShay said.

    “Someone said we had 80 guys who landed in the top 100, I don’t even care about that. I want to know that 80-90% of the guys that we evaluated ended up having the careers that we predicted they would.”

    Todd McShay sounded a little like Jay Cutler there with some insouciance and aloofness, but in the end I totally see eye to eye with him, in that NFL mock drafts are all about business.

    “I know they get a lot of hits, they’re a lot of fun, and it’s a driving force in what we do because they get so much attention. And it makes money. But for me it’s probably the least important part of my job.”

    ==================================================
    http://www.turfshowtimes.com/2015/1/15/7551797/2015-nfl-mock-draft-kiper-mocks-a-new-tackle-to-rams

    Amid all the early January mockery, one name had yet to weigh in: ESPN’s Mock Draft Grandfather Mel Kiper, Jr.

    No longer.

    The Hair is here with his first mock of the year (helpfully placed behind ESPN’s insider paywall because bad), and it has a new name headed to St. Louis. First up though, let’s crack that top nine open:

    1 Tampa Bay Jameis Winston QB Florida St.
    2 Tennessee Marcus Mariota QB Oregon
    3 Jacksonville Leonard Williams DL USC
    4 Oakland Amari Cooper WR Alabama
    5 Washington Randy Gregory DE Nebraska
    6 New York Jets Shane Ray DE Missouri
    7 Chicago Landon Collins SS Alabama
    8 Atlanta Dante Fowler DE Florida
    9 Minnesota Brandon Scherff OT Iowa

    Much of that top nine is awfully similar to Dan Kadar’s updated mock from Monday; the top five are identical and the Fowler to Atlanta pick is the same. Kiper drops Scherff to Minnesota in place of La’El Collins and puts two defenders in the 6 & 7 slots in place of Kadar’s selections of WR DaVante Parker and Scherff. So with just one wide receiver and one offensive tackle gone, Kiper has the Rams going with:

    T.J. Clemmings (OT, Pittsburgh)

    It’s hard to argue with position fit as nearly every mock draft since New Year’s Day has the Rams going with a tackle. Clemmings is an interesting prospect.

    He arrived at Pitt in 2010 as an oversized defensive end and was plugged in right away. He was redshirted however for his true sophomore season which suggested they weren’t quite sure how to make use of his mammoth frame an unusual athleticism. His redshirt sophomore season, in 2012, had him begin a transition from defensive end to the offensive line having bloomed into a 300-lb. frame. In his final two seasons, Clemmings was a mainstay at right tackle for the Panthers and flourished in 2014 having picked up much of the technical game for an outside offensive lineman.

    He should be a name that pops up as we head into combine season. He’s got an NFL frame and moves very well. It’s a question of risk. Rams should know about the difficulty of taking an oversized athlete and molding them into a tackle at the professional level…Jason Smith wasn’t just a protagonist in your nightmares…

    But the draft isn’t meant to allow your previous failures to doom your future to a similar fate. It’s for reversing the flow of the tide. It’s something Clemmings had to do in his position move much to the delight of Pitt’s coaches as he was named a second-team All American for his performance in 2014:

    “I’ve seen him dominate guys up front this year, and I’ll definitely miss him when he’s gone next year,” [Pitt RB James] Conner said.

    NFL scouts like Clemmings for his 6-foot-6, 315-pound frame to go along with long arms and good athleticism, but [Pitt Interim Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator Joe] Rudolph and [Offensive Line Coach Jim] Hueber also praised the mental makeup it takes to learn a new position — and do it well — on the fly in just two years.

    “I think it’s easy when you first make a move that if it doesn’t go well, you say, ‘Well, that’s the wrong move,’ ” Rudolph said. “But to be all in on a really drastic move — different side of the ball, never played it before — I think he’s very strong-minded and he’s obviously got confidence in himself that’s just continued to develop.”

    Do they need a right tackle?

    Maybe they will. Depends on Joe B.

    But if they DO, put me down as nervous about the idea of fielding a rookie right tackle and a sophomore left tackle.

    DEVLIN: That’s right. Arithmetic with letters is still arithmetic. Algebra’s is actually a very different way of thinking. With arithmetic, you actually take some numbers and you calculate a new number. With algebra, you think about numbers. You end up naming an unknown number – you called it X or Y – and then you reason, not arithmetically so much as logically. So, algebra is really logical thinking about numbers as opposed to arithmetic, which is calculating with numbers. And, in fact, it’s because people, I think, when kids don’t realize it’s a different way of thinking that they find algebra was so hard ’cause they try to solve algebra problems using arithmetic and it doesn’t work.

    My prediction is we won’t be picking 10th. In other words, I believe we will be trading down.

    That could be quite likely.

    How do the O-linemen look in the bottom half of the 1st round.
