Sportsnation is Ret...Not Intelligent

[Vbsiena]

We started talking about this is some thread about Matt's blog. Matt wanted us to start a new one so here it is.

This mock really shows lots of casual fans that don't know much about the Draft.

So many skill players taken QB, RB, WR in the 1st 20 picks its funny.

It's also kinda funny to read their experts talk about SportsNation being stupid.

1st-Matt Ryan-Not going to happen
3rd-Darren McFadden-0% chance, they just got Tunner
5th-Glenn Dorsey-IDK about that one
7th-Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie-overrated
10th-Aqib Talib-I don't see how he is a top 15 picks
11th-Malcolm Kelly-Knees problems taken off some teams boards
12th-Limas Sweed-WR?
13th-Keith Rivers-They need a LB?
14th-Chad Henne-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
17th-DeSean Jackson-Another small WR, they might think he is another Troy Williamson(sp?)
19th-James Hardy-Not worth that high of pick

Leodis McKelvin still on the board????

yea they were talking about this on the scout.com Vikings board yesterday. Minnesota was the only state that had them taking Harvey the rest of "Sportsnation" had them taking Desean Jackson which is horrible especially with Derrick Harvey, Chris Williams and Ryan Clady still on the board.

Its understandable though these are the more casual fans that don't know much about the prospects or certain teams needs, draft strategies and so on. If this was a "Draftnik Nation" mock the results would be drastically different.

sweed to the broncos makes sense now that Brandon Marshall got injured and they let Javon Walker go. WR is now a big need for this team imo.

Actually the Panthers will need to replace Jon Beason now that he's playing MLB.

o, didn't know that

[49ersfan]

Still, not worth a first round pick when they need an OT, RB, QB, etc.

[Joey_Potter]

Terrible, just terrible. Casual fans suck at drafting.

[NoNonsenseCoach]

This is stupid.

14th-Chad Henne-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

That was funny though.

[49ersfan]

Green actually sounded smart, but some of those pick were so bad, ugh. Brohm at 8!! Are you insane.

[49ersfan]

I just voted on the 'Boys pick, and, with Leodis McKelvin still available at 22, Felix Jones is going to be the pick! WTF?!?!

[Vbsiena]

I guess this thread answers the question to another thread. The one with best player picked that the casual fan has never heard of. The winner = Leodis McKelvin.

[49ersfan]

No kidding. He could get out of the first round at this rate.
