Mel Kiper is just throwing darts......

A perfect example of why I love early evaluation and preseason ratings, and default to them almost without exception. Using that criteria, the best analysis is Kiper's first: "Cadillac Williams will be the first runningback chosen and backfield mate Ronnie Brown will be a nice find for somebody in the 2nd round."

IMO, in a reality world that would be the actual course of events. Until I joined this forum in February, I had no idea Ronnie Brown was being considered early in round one. His work never warranted that level, in my view.

Kiper's zig-zags are hysterical. I had no idea they were that dramatic. Excellent homework by the original poster.

It reminds me of my Las Vegas sportsbook friends. They watch Wake Forest crush someone in basketball, then rave about them. Then they bet on Wake Forest and lose, and suddenly Wake Forest sucks.

Subjectivity is deadly. I finally learned to rank all college football teams and basketball teams before the season starts and stick with that rating all year, regardless of results or injuries or anything else. I utiilize preseason sources I trust and rank every college basketball team 1-335, or whatever, for example. That number is frozen, from October thru the final game. Absolutely marvelous. No second guessing whatsoever. Sure you'll blow some of them, and by huge margin, but overall I can hit my 57% or thereabouts, and no chance that would happen with day-to-day subjective baffoonery.

In the final game, my preseason ratings had North Carolina #3 and Illinois #10, so I bet on North Carolina. Of course, if the most recent example had failed, I wouldn't be mentioning it.
 
of course he's saying all that...so that way he will not be wrong...he'll say yeah...I told you so and so would go first out of the big three.

the funny thing is he's getting paid for what? I don't know.

Go Fins!!!
 
thanks for bringing up the facts. I would love to but I am lazy. Ive always know Kiper to change with the wind. classic Bill Clinton Section! Stick my finger to the wind and tell everyone what they want to hear!
 
Ok, and what about San Diego's Front Office, their fans, analysts last year. Drew Brees is a Bust, Draft a QB, they get Rivers. Drew Brees has a good year, he gets franchised, ESPN says he deserves a 6 year 60 million dollar contract, and all of a sudden he is an elite QB. WHY??? He had a good year, and his value elevated. Just like Ronnie Brown, Alex Smith, etc. You make it sound like Ronnie Brown was a top 5 pick last offseason, he wasn't. He had a good year, his stock elevated. How is Kiper at fault here, am I missing something?
