People are paying way too much attention to the combine

LOL, ok so scouts are taking this too seriously? That's what the combine is for. To find those players that aren't in the spotlight and should be worth that pick..

People aren't talking about diamonds in the rough that might be going from undrafted to drafted because of their combines or from a late-round pick to a second-day pick. No, we're talking about players we're already familiar with, first-round picks. When we pick someone else that isn't Dontari Poe, I promise you there are going to be shrieks of anger from people that take the combine so so seriously now when they wouldn't have put much stock into it at all before it started being televised.

This is a Brockers fanboy thread in bad disguise. Don't let him fool you.

I'm not championing anybody this year. The lone draft thread I made was many months ago when I wanted us to pick Devon Still. Now I honestly don't care that much who we pick. I do think people are putting way too much into combine stuff over how players performed in college. I said as much this time last year when Cam had a poor throwing day at the combine and people were ripping him to shreds on the Huddle.

    • It's sort of funny you guys were so bad with 3s tonight about the same time Silver and LeBron both say the game is broken due to too many 3 attempts. The NBA is almost unwatchable. No defense, refs call fouls for almost anything, guys care more about looking pretty on the court than playing tough, etc. Today's NBA is putrid.
    • It's gotten more complicated with the change of CBS and FOX no longer being exclusive AFC/NFC partners From a home team perspective, the NFL requires the home market (which is typically the broadcast reach of the station airing the game) to carry the game. For times where there is a conflict (let's say, FOX Charlotte is airing some major news event) then the broadcast will go to a local station that FOX Charlotte has an arrangement with -- like the CW, maybe.  Only in super-rare instances would local FOX throw the game over to a major competitor like to WSOC/ABC. But it could happen This is how games that are "exclusive" to streaming will end up being broadcast by a local channel in those home team markets -- because the NFL wants the local market to be able to see the game.  Amazon TNF games will always be available on some local channel in those teams' markets, for example. Or the upcoming Netflix games For TV markets that do not have a local team, then the local station gets to choose from what's available. Ideally, they'd choose a regional game or one that is close in the conference.  In Atlanta, for example, we would typically get one of the NFC South matchups for times when the Falcons aren't playing.
