everyone has argued that his skill is determining where a targeted player is going to go, and then trades to that spot. I don't recall any mock drafts having Akers or Jefferson in the 2nd round? Im not suggesting they will be bad players, but Snead definitely did not play to this supposed strength. I understand that it takes two to tango, but I'm not feeling great value in our first two picks.
There have been reports that the disparity of value in player rankings between draftniks and NFL team evaluators would be huge this year because of no pro days, no workouts, no in person visits.
Usually what happens is, as the draft approaches media experts catch wind of how NFL teams are actually valuing the players and they change their boards and mocks accordingly. They follow which teams interviewed which players on pro days, they interview team personnel on pro days, they see which teams are bringing in which players for visits and then they rearrange value and talk about risers and fallers. Well this year, due to the virus, no one outside of the NFL's inner circle was privy to how teams really rank the players.
