Many people don't like Kiper but he's like a walking encyclopedia. I'm amazed when it gets down to the 7th round and he rattles off a couple minute analysis on those players. He was ridiculed but he was right on the much talked about opinion of Trent Dilfer over Trev Alberts, even though Dilfer's career was pretty mediocre. Alberts was a major bust. I found a website called http://www.coldhardfootballfacts.com which has a statistical analysis of correct picks in past Mock Drafts of the 1st round by Kiper, OurLads, McShay, etc. As others have mentioned, quantifying the results is pretty much nonsense as getting the correct picks by position is an impossible task (the top guys got about 25% right). I'd rather be able to review past analysis like: "This linebacker will excel in the 3-4" and see how that player turned out 5 years later. Then one could develop an opinion like "Mayock was right on about half the time" and have confidence the guy knows what he's talking about. The analysis/forecast for QBs would be very interesting to look back on as that's an extremely hard position to judge.

Yeah, and then trade with the Eagles for Matt Barkley and you have the 2012 USC passing game.

Then how do you explain young healthy non-obese kids getting cancer?

I haven't frequented Ourlads but the Bills Digest annually has Russ Lande from that organization do a question-and-answer on the upcoming draft and he's been usually different from the norm and usually wrong. (Ex: liked Nassib if I recall correctly)

I don't know about that. The Niners may have gotten a "brother discount" in getting A.Boldin for a 6th but I think Boldin is better than Stevie. I think the best they might get is a 5th.

I know you have to consider that the final record was 6-10 and good teams win the close games but you have to take a look at some of the losses along with the inexperience at QB. Week 1 vs Pats- Bills hung with Patriots despite being outgained and it took a last secord FG for Pats to win Week 3 vs Jets- game was tied in 4th quarter until Justin Rogers got burned by Santonio Holmes Week 5 vs Browns- game tied after 3 Qtrs- Bills still only down 6 in last 2 minutes when undrafted rookie QB Tuel throws pick-six Week 7 vs Bengals- Bills rally behind backup QB Lewis to take eventual division winning Bengals to OT with Bengals winning Week 9 vs Chiefs- Bills outplayed eventual 11 win wild card KC for most of the game. With 7 pt lead in 3rd qtr, Bills were in red zone looking for another score when Tuel throws a 100 yd pick six. 4th Qtr fumble returned for another score and Bills lose by 10. Week 13 vs Atlanta- Falcons won in OT but Bills were in position to win in regulation time and OT but two unfortunate fumbles killed them.

I agree.

Just virtually squirted you in the face with water from my flower pin. Ha!

That's a lot of AND's in one sentence.

Some of the levels are reduced only a $1 for pre-season games? Woohoo!! What a joke! Lowest price for a preseason game is $44?

Hmm! Let's see how long it takes before this "new topic" gets the dreaded "This subject currently being discussed in another thread". Over-under: 10 mins.

Please no trade up for Clowney. Can't they see the red flags?!!! His last name is appropriate. He's a clown!! There's a chance he'll be like J.Russell and take all his money and not care how he plays.

The cheerleading nazi has spoken: "No cheerleaders for you!!"

Does anyone know if Stevie was one of the players working out with EJ in California, being that he lives in SF?

People sueing for every little thing is a joke. Here in the Sacramento area there was a great gym called Basketball Town where current and ex-Sacramento Kings and top local college players could be seen playing pickup games during the summer. Apparently some guy in a wheelchair showed up and because he couldn't get to the 2nd floor viewing area, he sued them. Rather than incur the legal fees and/or pay fore any required facility , the facility closed. It was also supposedly discovered that this guy had done this multiple times before at other facilities. I'm all for handicapped people being allowed to gain access to whereever they want to go, but this guy was obviously abusing the courts for personal gain.

Is that Cameron Jordan or Jordan Cameron?

I agree. Part of the identity of the San Jose Sharks is the color teal. They came out in game one of the playoffs in their alternate black jersies and said they're going to wear them throughout the playoffs. So there you had a sold-out crowd all decked in teal and their team on the ice was in black.

I agree. The Combine has become so big and too much attention height, weight, etc. They should care more about what they see live and on tape. Can the guy play? There have been many examples of "look like Tarzan, play like Jane" and also players without "prototypical size for the position" that are stars.

Don't forget the great Erik Flowers. The Quote functionality doesn't work for me anymore. Anyone have any insight? I'm using IE 11.

Tuel may have incriminating pictures or information on someone.

Hyde in the 1st? Are you kidding? This could (should) be another draft with no RBs taken in the 1st round.

There were a few post-game comments this past season related to Fred getting more carries because he gets positive yards on early downs. There was no need to actually say "...and Spiller doesn't". It was implied.

The approach to the RB position could show us how different this regime is. If they take a RB at 9 or even trade down and take one later in the first, I think I'll lose it.

Glad to see another Pole-ski on the team. It's been 3 years since Poslusny left. Sloan Rules!

I don't believe it is released until tomorrow. Is there a special preview?
