Rate the talking heads

[trapezeus]

I'm not good with knowing all the different draft experts.

but of kiper, maylock, scheft, mcshay...which ones do you feel get the scouting right and pick the winners and losers before the draft. and which one(s) do you think are just a mouthpiece that teams use to get misinformation out there?

then which ones do you think get the actual mocks closest to right year after year?

Just curious.

Re: Rate the talking heads

I think Mayock is the most right out of any of them. I mean he called Heyward-Bay to the Raiders. Usually he has like 20 or more out 32 correct which is pretty good with out being in any of the draft rooms.

They all suck. Mayock, I feel, sucks the least.

It's too early to do this.

You can't evaluate these guys until AFTER the draft. Once the draft is over, the ones who give the Buffalo Bills a good draft grade are the ones who know what they're talking about, and the ones who give the Bills a bad draft grade are morons just trying to fill air time, and they'd be working for an NFL team if they actually knew WTF they were talking about.

David Byrne wasn't necessarily my favorite, but by far the most talented of the 4.

Jerry Harrison's solo career killed him by my standards, and, due to the fact I'm not a huge drummer or Chris Frantz backing vocals fan I'll go with a young Tina Weymouth.

Definitely Tina Weymouth.

I've love what Daniel Jeremiah is doing over at movethesticks/twitter. Seems like a straight shooter, doesn't really talk about teams, just the prospects and their respective strengths/weaknesses. He's going to be on a network real soon, you can just tell.

Heard the same thing of him. Might have to check him out.

In my opinion from best to worst: Mayock, Mcshay, Kiper, Sheft.

Re: Rate the talking heads

From an evaluation pov, Mayock is the best, although I think Kiper isn't that bad, he just has nfi about what teams real needs are.
The guy who always seems to come out on top with his final 'mock' is Rick Gosselin, who writes for a Dallas newspaper I believe.
The coverage to really watch if you want to see someone really cover what's going to go down as it happens, is Mayock on NFL Network. I've been thoroughly impressed in the past at Mayock's ability to narrow picks down as the draft progresses, to one or two guys he thinks the next team will pick, right into the lower rounds. And he isn't often wrong, or even thrown a curve ball, which is no mean achievement in my book.

Re: Rate the talking heads

I def put Mayock to the front of that list.
