B/R Draft Questions answered

I know it's B/R and it's not exactly a deep analytical article but I still found it a fun little read:

A good read thanks for posting the article SCC1. Here's my favorite section: 

 

"Does anyone care about quarterback Wonderlic scores?

 

Yes, the websites that publish Wonderlic scores and then say things like: "Wonderlic scores are supposed to be confidential and have no correlation with anything, but Jameis Winston blah blah blah."

 

The Wonderlic is a pet peeve of mine because I worked in the standardized testing industry for many years. It's a hopelessly out-of-date old corporate IQ test with far too many validity issues to go into here. I'm glad Winston did well, because no one deserves to be deemed immoral, flabby and dumb before he even receives his first paycheck, but the Wonderlic is a spectacular test for measuring precisely how well someone can perform on the Wonderlic." 

 

Exactly, the Wonderlic is a pointless exercise.

The wonderlic is just one data point out of many.

 

But most NFL execs prefer to have their QB's get at least a 26...

 

A number of very successful QB's have scored lower and some have even won a Super Bowl.

 

But with the modern QB position,  there is so much information to process in such a short period of time that if you're not razor sharp mentally your chances of success go down....
