Well Tex and LLT, like I said it's all about OPINIONS! Below is a recent list of the BEST OT's in this draft. Pay close attention to who they list in the top-3, and who they have at # 17
I wonder if you and Texasteel would agree

If you look over all the different rankings on this site...its EASY to tell it has not been updated in quite a while. I come across sites that havent been updated since the beginning of the 2010 season. I mean look at the CB rankings...they dont even have Peterson and Prince in the top 5....looks like this was done before the Dowling injury and such...so its quite old.

Also I usually stay away from a lot of fantasy football sites...as it seems a lot of them are out of date...not all but a lot. Stay with the bigger more well known or updated ones.

I like Barksdale Tex, I mentioned him before I saw anyone else. But he does have some issues. And he might have already peaked. But I like him. Just not in round 3 is all.

Oh I understand bud. We all will disagree on some players, and you will not offend me by not thinking the way I do. Believe in or not that does happen,,,,,,,,,,,,, often.

Wow this turned from Texas' mock thread into bickering where players will be drafted, haha.

Basically a long story/process/etc short....the draft is a guessing game...everyone has their predictions where players will go. And teams have certain value on some players. A team may value a 6th round guy as a 3rd round guy. And as LLT said overall player rank is only a small part of it...you have to look at that players rank at his position...thats a very important piece...as a player may be ranked 150th overall...but 3rd at his position. So say a player is the 3rd ranked RB but 150th overall...in most cases that player will be draft much sooner than 150th...he could be taken in the top 25...all depends on team needs and such too. You gotta look at ALL factors, overall rank, positional rank, the "eye test" as LLT put it, team needs, teams position(s) in the draft...everything!!! So a player ranked as a 4th rounder is not a reach to go at the end of the 3rd.

Exactly...and we have to realize that teams understand their own scheme better then scouts outside of their organization do. The same player that will thrive in the Steelers schemes may lay an egg with other teams.. Or vise versa.

IN 2009 most of the scouts listed 6'5 296 lb Jarron Gilbert as a DT and he was drafted by the Bears , where he was TOTALLY miscast in their 4-3 defense. Gilbert's talents and abilities were virtually a perfect fit for a 5 technique DE in a 3-4 scheme.

He was cut by the Bears, after the predictable failure to fit their scheme....and now is on the practice squad for the Jets. Who run a 3-4 defense.

Scouts might under-value (or over-value) a player by trying to "cookie cutter" him into a general scheme. The whole concept of a "general scheme" is a fallacy and that same player will recieve a higher draft ranking from one team...and a much lower one on another.

Teams value boards are never set up like the values boards we all see on the internet. They are team specific.

Bingo....after a while you know which ones you can trust.
