At this point?  Yeah.  Much like Lunardi and Bracketology, at this point he's got sources telling him things, he's not doing his own analysis

I'm amused how the various draft predictions differ, and then vary over time.  I understand some trades can change priorities, but really, none of the predictions are interesting to me.  Maybe this maybe that.

The WKU QB that threw the ball like 60 times a game.  Transferred from whatever FCS school hired his coach

For QBs?  Yes.  For everyone else?  No

Lamar Jackson had a 13 and was league MVP in 2019.  Outlier perhaps, but I also wonder how important this test is.

I suspect different scouts weight wonderlic differently, just as they do 40 times and other metrics.

I enjoyed the movie "Draft Day" a lot, with Costner, but all this speculation about who gets drafted where is over the top for me.

Yeah.  Don't they realize we'll just find out when the draft occurs?

I think like all standardized tests, there are people who test well, and those who don't.  But by and large, they test what they are designed to, which may or may not be relevant.  I think for QBs, it largely is.  Lamar Jackson is a great QB, but largely due to athletic prowess.  He wasn't drafted overly high for a QB.  For a guy like Kenny Pickett, who is seen anywhere from the 1st to 4th or so best QB in a QB weak draft, I think that's a killer.  If I was considering him in the teens, I no longer would be
