Mel Kiper was only 22 percent accurate with his picks

[Chaos]

You gotta love when these dipshits start throwing their draft grades out there. 

 

"Hey listen to me, this is who every team is going to pick, and I'm a paid expert.  Welp, all of my picks were wrong, but now that the draft is over, let me grade each team's selections, and you should listen to this too.  Welp, the selections didn't live up to their draft grade last season, but let me tell you why and who every team is going to pick next draft."

 

Please kill yourselves.

In the second round, he had (the Bucs) taking offensive tackle D.J. Humphries – right position, wrong player.

Here’s a look at Mel Kiper’s final mock draft.

25. D.J. Humphries, Panthers (Shaq Thompson)

Yeah...

This is a dumb post. anyone who makes a mock draft isn't going to be right about all of there picks because the draft is ever evolving. You can't predict what trades are going to happen and one trade throws your whole mock out of wack. Its like nailing someone for having their march madness bracket not pan out.

Doesn't mean kiper was wrong. Hes just not a fortune teller. You do mocks based on what a team should do...and they are fun. They are not ment to be 100% accurate.

Mock drafts are stupid

Mock drafts are stupid

In my opinion, the only thing mock drafts are good for is introducing you to players at their roughly accurate skill level. It seems that 100% of mock drafts do so based SOLELY on need and they tell you that up front. "Panthers need a LT badly so they will pick X". When we all KNOW that this is NOT how the team(s) pick. They are set up fromt he get go to be wrong. But they tell you who the players are and basically (I'd say within a rd or so) where their talent falls.

 

After that, mocks are completely useless.

Not bad...not bad.

They are basically Kiper/Mayock/etc OPINION of what a team should do.  However, given that they are wrong more than they are right....and are drastically wrong in many cases, it just goes to show that they are not really experts.  And, people should take their opinions and grades with a big grain of salt.

 

We picked against their prediction for us.....therefore, their grade will be low as they have to prove why they were right to start with.

and the answer after far too many years of this question being asked by many people:

a draft hack with plastic hair.

And as someone recently pointed out, those mocks are all based on need.
