Kipers 2006 Draft Success

[BuffaloBilliever]

I don't think they should pay these jag offs squat....

Getting 10% right isn't so bad... oh wait

I did this quick, but here is the results I was able to get out of the 2006 draft. (Based on an early April 06 Kiper Mock)

 

First Round

Correct Picks (Team and Number) - 4 (D'Brick, Hawk, Davis, Mercedes Lewis)

Of the 32 picks, Kiper correctly identified 26 of them (missed Carpenter, Hali, Joseph, Mangold, Addai and Kiwi) as being first round picks

 

Second Round

Correct Picks (Team and Number) - 0

Correct Team, but wrong Pick number - 2 (McIntosh, Justice)

Of the 32 picks, Kiper correctly identified 15 of them as being 2nd round picks

 

Third Round

Correct Picks (Team and Number) - 0

Correct Team, but wrong Pick number - 3 (Winston, Youboty, Pope)

Of the 33 picks, Kiper correctly identified 12 of them as being 3rd round picks

 

Summary

In the ENTIRE first 3 rounds, Kiper only identified FOUR correct picks (Team and Number).

In the ENTIRE first 3 rounds, Kiper only correctly identified 9 of 97 picks to the correct team.

Of the 97 players taken in the first 3 rounds, only 76 of them were in his 3 round mock draft.

 

So, someone tell me why we should listen to this Goober?

Here is how Rick Gosselin's 2006 mock draft looked - he seems to be one of the most accurate guys out there:

Now, here is his latest 2007 mock:

Rick Gosselin's first mock draft

 

 

Team Player Pos. School

1. Oakland JaMarcus Russell QB LSU

2. Detroit Adrian Peterson RB Oklahoma

Matt Millen has struggled with top-10 picks in his stint as general manager of the Lions. Peterson would be a safe and popular choice. Detroit had success using first-round picks on Oklahoma runners Steve Owens (1970) and Billy Sims (1980).

3. Cleveland Calvin Johnson WR Georgia Tech

4. Tampa Bay Brady Quinn QB Notre Dame

5. Arizona Joe Thomas OT Wisconsin

6. Washington Gaines Adams DE Clemson

7. Minnesota LaRon Landry S LSU

8. Atlanta Leon Hall CB Michigan

9. Miami Alan Branch DT Michigan

10. Houston Amobi Okoye DT Louisville

11. San Francisco Jamaal Anderson DE Arkansas

12. Buffalo Marshawn Lynch RB California

13. St. Louis Darrelle Revis CB Pittsburgh

14. Carolina Patrick Willis LB Mississippi

15. Pittsburgh Adam Carriker DE Nebraska

Carriker is the prototypical defensive end for a 3-4 scheme. But his true value lies is his versatility. With his size (6-6, 296), he can line up at any of the four positions along the defensive line.

16. Green Bay Ted Ginn Jr. WR Ohio State

17. Jacksonville Jarvis Moss DE Florida

18. Cincinnati Reggie Nelson S Florida

19. Tennessee Robert Meachem WR Tennessee

20. N.Y. Giants Levi Brown OT Penn State

21. Denver Lawrence Timmons LB Florida State

22. Dallas Dwayne Bowe WR LSU

With two starting wide receivers in their 30s, the Cowboys need a young player to build a future downfield passing game for Tony Romo. Bowe is a physical receiver in the Michael Irvin mold.

23. Kansas City Justin Harrell DT Tennessee

24. New England Jon Beason LB Miami

25. N.Y. Jets Aaron Ross CB Texas

26. Philadelphia Chris Houston CB Arkansas

27. New Orleans Dwayne Jarrett WR Southern California

28. New England Michael Griffin S Texas

29. Baltimore Joe Staley OT Central Michigan

30. San Diego Anthony Gonzalez WR Ohio State

31. Chicago Paul Posluszny LB Penn State

32. Indianapolis Greg Olsen TE Miami

[Steely Dan]

I'm still holding fast to my prediction that Lynch isn't even on their draft board.
