Andy's NFL Draft Preview Guide


Recommended Posts

Purifoy 42nd overall? lol

 

Woops, if you look at the rankings, I believe he's more a late 3rd, early 4th round pick.

 

I made the Mock Draft before the cornerback/safety rankings. I was high on Purifoy, and then I watched tape on him (and ouch).

 

You know, there's also more to this guide than the mock draft.

Andy.......

 

An impressive piece of work.   Congrats, I hope this is a big success for you.

 

I've only had a chance to scroll down through about half of it.

 

I'm assuming that Purifoy at 42 is a typo?     Because in your section about cornerbacks,  you have him listed at 12th with a 4th round grade.    So, seeing him at 42,  high in the 2nd round,  didn't add up for me.

 

Typo?     Did you mean someone else?

 

Again.... thanks for sharing this....    so far, so good....

 

NOTE:    I see that you've now responded to my question and did so while I was writing it.....

Yeah, if you see my Mock Draft today or tomorrow, he won't be there.

 

As I told Dustin, I made the mock draft before the CB/S rankings, so some people are out of place.

 

Wish I caught this a bit earlier, but whatever, the rankings are the lifeblood of this guide.

 

Thanks for reading!

Did a 10 minute skim through of this, and I gotta hand it to you, very well done.  I agree with a lot of what you said in the rankings and how you ranked them. So much so, that I'll print this out while I watch the draft and mark guys off that have been picked follow the draft with it.  And really, I'm not just saying that, I'm dead serious.  If I took the time to rank positions and come up with my own board, I'd imagine it'd be close to this.  There's some guys that I disagree with you on, but it's mostly some of the later round stuff - and who can predict that?  It's hard enough to do the first 2 or 3 rounds, it gets all over the place after that.

 

PS.  High five for the Terrence Brooks to Colts in the mock.

This is my annual NFL Draft Preview Guide. It's 76 pages of goodness, take a look: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9VH1FAnABP6X253ZVlhMXRKNG8/edit?usp=sharing

It has been sent out, acknowledged and praised by NFL media members. I'll post their comments within the next 2 days (once I get their approval).

Have fun and enjoy!

Great job, Andy. I read up to page 38. The remaining pages were missing but it may be a problem on my end.

You have the first 3 Vikings selections rated in the top 45 (Bridgewater, Barr, Crichton). It seems the Vikes drafted well, but I don't get the last selection (McKinnon), given that we could have used Yankey or Desir. We probably could have picked McKinnon with one of our two 5th Round picks. I read somewhere that he had the best combine numbers of any player. Did you read that too? I put more value on how someone plays in game action, rather than at a pro day or combine. That is why I like Bridgewater and you had him as the highest rated QB.

Thank you for your draft guide and all of your contributions during the draft.

    • Yeah... Richardson needs players who can separate and who can get open deep. IMO "give the inaccurate QB a contested catch receiver with large catch radius" is one of the tropes that hasn't proven to work well. Contested catches have about 50-55% success rate even with the best of contested catch receivers and with relatively accurate QBs... now if you think AR's accuracy is not good, drop that rate even more. The best way to give a relatively inaccurate QB better chance to complete passes is to give him a WR who separates and and who is open so the QB would have more of a margin for error to throw the ball a little behind or ahead or a little higher or lower than ideal. (we are not talking about uncatchable balls here... those will be uncatchable for anyone really). In that regard, one thing I would agree about is - we need WRs who have good hands and have good ball skills.   And this is ignoring that AR has indeed been pretty good with his accuracy on passes at intermediate and long range. His biggest problem coming into the league was the short stuff and he was already showing improvements in that deparment before he got injured.    And Worthy is the WR who created the most separation from anybody in this draft :   
    • Richardson  accuracy  on deep balls is his strength.  Hence why you pair an elite deep threat in worthy.
