Anyone think it would be a good idea to take a 7th round flyer on Samardzija? He is a first round talent whose rights could be had for a 7th round price! I say lets do it! He is no more of a risk than most 7th round players and we can hope that he falls out of Major League Baseball and lands in our laps.

I say lets reunite him and Quinn on the pro level!
 
There is literally no point in drafting him. If we draft him and sign him, he would have to give up the $8 million bonus he got, and if we don't sign him we lose him next year.

Chances are very slim of that happening, he has an excellent arm. And I have heard from alot of analysts that he made the right choice by going for baseball.
 
What was the deal with Drew Henson then, where he was drafted then played with the Yankees and then when he was ready to come to the NFL a team still had the rights???
 
I'm not sure about the Henson situation, but I'm 100% about what I said with Samardzija. I've had this discussion a few times in nfldraftcountdown, Scott Wright cleared it up.
 
OK...since nfldraftcountdown came up, how close are they generally in predicting their mock drafts?

Very good. Scott Wright is one of the best in the business. This year may not be the best, but most likely there won't be many good ones out there, because of the amount of uncertainty throughout the draft.
 
Yeah I agree, this year's mock could get screwed up based on the very first pick! plus there seems to be an above average amount of pick trading rumors floating around.

I wouldn't mind taking a flyier on him in the 6th or 7th round.

What does "one of the best mean?" How many times does he get the top 10 right or does he ever get it right at all? For that matter how many people ever get it right? It would be interesting to know, I will look it up. I personally, dont see the point in these mock drafts, if they draft one guy out of were he was predicted, the whole thing gets messed up. And for a fan following his team, what happens when the guy that was being predicited dosent go, then what??? For me thay are purely entretainment. Nothing more, all those gurus are just merely guessing after the top 5.

Eh, not at all. Scott is 2nd best over the last 3 years (only to Rick Gosselin) and had the best one in 2004. They are hardly "guessing" after the top 5.

Well I went back till 2003 and his average is 49% in those 4 years so that is halfway. All the years were @ 40% except 2004, were he hit 80%. When you look into these number you also see that after the top 5 his average for the other 5 is 16%, that sounds more like guess to me, and in those last 5, only in 2004 he got 2 right the rest were 1 or 0. I guess for the top 5 the guy is very accurate, otherwise it seems like guess work to me. Since Miami is #9 I will just keep doing what I am doing, and that is paying attention to all the mocks, from my dogs mock to the "experts".:D :D
