PFF's Final Bigboard

It's not because I don't agree with them, because I know everyone has different opinions, but the synopsis' of the players make no sense. For instance they rank Walker Little #26 overall when he hasn't played football in college for 2 years! How can you rank him that high when he has been out of the game that long? Then they have Alex Leatherwood ranked #40 overall, but explains that he has trouble with speed rushers and needs to improve his pass blocking. They say basically the same thing about Jackson Carman at #48. Liam Eichenberg is ranked #52, yet they say his grades improved greatly every year and he had a much better overall grade than both Leatherwood and Carman and he's started for Notre Dame at LT for the last 3 seasons, but he is ranked much lower than Little who hasn't played in 2 years? How does this make sense? It seems as though they contradict themselves a lot in these rankings. Not always. Terrell Owens was a slow WR. He ran a 4.65 before getting drafted and he is now in the Hall of Fame. Tom Brady had a "dad bod" and his workout numbers didn't stand out at all. Again, he is the GOAT at his position. Jared Allen was one of the most consistent sack artist in college football, but his numbers didn't stand out. Teams thought he wasn't athletic enough. He now sits #12 on the all time sack list and will be a HOF some day. Mike Mamula was a "workout warrior" who came out of nowhere and blew scouts away with his athleticism at the 1995 draft. Because of this, he was projected way too high. Teams saw that and projected him to be an NFL star, based solely on his "potential" despite being considered a mid 2nd or early 3rd round pick before the Combine. He only played 5 years in the NFL and never achieved double digit sacks in a season. Darrius Heyward-Bey was a very average player at Maryland. He totaled less that 1500 receiving yards in 2 years and only 8 total receiving touchdowns, yet he ran a blazing 40 time at the Combine and the Raiders made him into something he wasn't, based on the workouts alone. He should've been a mid round pick, but the Raiders took him 7th overall in 2009 and he never became a 1000 yard receiver. He came close in 2011 with 975, but every other year he never even came close. His second highest total was 606 receiving yards. He never reached his supposed "potential." Remember Matt Jones? He was chosen based on "potential." He was a college QB and never played receiver. He had tremendous workout numbers though, so for some reason beyond my comprehension, the Jags selected him with the #21 pick in the 2005 draft with the intention of changing his position and making him a WR. It was one of the biggest reaches in NFL history and we got burned. Give me consistent college production |
