You got one right which you lucked into because he plays for your favorite team. The rest of your rankings were complete trash. Look at your top QBs vs. who you picked as busts :mjlol:

I picked Alvin Kamara so I'm gonna be right about every other player!!!! :sadbron::sadbron::sadbron:


No. RB is simply the easiest position to transition into in the NFL. We typically see the star RBs be superstars right off the bat. So it makes sense that my top ranked RB would be the quickest to reach superstardom. However, the other positions are different. Especially QB. Everyone knows QB is the toughest position to transition into in the NFL.

NFL is a marathon not a sprint. Go and look up the rookie stats of Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. Then look up the rookie stats of RG3 and Vince Young. Typically star NFL QBs don't light it up in year 1. Just wait and see. That list is gonna look much better over the next 2 years.

Remember, my talent evaluation skills are top notch. Just look up my predictions for the 2015 class. I said before the draft that Todd Gurley would be the best player by far from that draft class. I also correctly identified David Johnson (Cardinals) a guy who ended up being a 3rd round pick as a gem before that draft. I predicted that mid-1st round pick Marcus Peters (that didn't have much hype back then) would be a STAR. I correctly predicted Kevin White would be an outright bust. And even more accurately, I predicted that Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota, Amari Cooper, Dante Fowler Jr., and Leonard Williams would all be underwhelming. See the evidence below:

Bold Predictions for the 2015 NFL Draft class

make em now so when this thread is bumped up in 3 years we'll know who is stupid and whose got an eye for talent.

here are my BOLD predictions:

1. DeVante Parker and Nelson Agholor will be the best recievers in this class. Parker will be a lesser version of AJ Green while Agholor looks like a clone of Chad Ochocinco. Kevin White will be a BUST and Amari Cooper will be a decent player but not a superstar level receiver.

2. Todd Gurley will be the best player from this draft class. And little known David Johnson from Northern Iowa is my surprise late round gem. Someone will draft him in the 4th round or beyond and find themselves a good starting RB.

3. This draft will be remembered for having lots of busts at the top and very little depth afterwards. It wouldn't surprise me if Leonard Williams, Marcus Mariota, and even Jameis Winston turn out to be busts.

I missed on who would be the top receivers in the class but I got everything else right. I was right about Kevin White being a bust. Remember he went 7th overall. I was right about Amari Cooper not developing into a superstar. Remember he got crazy hype was the 3rd overall pick in the draft as a record-breaking WR from Alabama. I was right about Todd Gurley being the best player from the 2015 Draft. He was an MVP candidate this past year.

My biggest hit was correctly predicting that David Johnson would be a steal. Remember he went in the 3rd round and this was BEFORE the draft. I was on the money with that one.

And finally, I was right about that draft class being filled with busts. Just compare the 2015 draft to the 2010, 2011, and 2014 draft and you'll see a clear difference in talent. The 2015 NFL Draft was weak like I said. And although guys like Leonard Williams, Jameis Winston, and Marcus Mariota haven't turned out to be busts, they haven't turned out to be stars either. They've been real mediocre thus far.

This years NFL Draft is so weak

I actually think the depth of this draft is worse than its top line talent. I like guys like Todd Gurley, DeVante Parker, Marcus Peters, and Nelson Agholor as potential stars. Leonard Williams, Amari Cooper, and Dante Fowler Jr. will be adequate starters.

However, beyond the first round, there will be very few NFL starters drafted. This draft has the potential to be ALL-TIME bad like 2013 and 2009.

Well the big day is almost finally here. Here are my thoughts on this year's EPIC draft class. For one, this is one of the best draft classes of the last 30 years. Expect many of the stars of the NFL for the next 10 years to come out of this draft class. The depth and talent at almost every position is phenomenal.

And without further ado here we go:

THE ELITE (potential Pro-Bowl and All-Pro caliber players)

Quarterbacks
  • Joshua Dobbs (Tennessee) – NFL Comp ► Randall Cunningham w/ Michael Jordan intangibles
  • Brad Kaaya (Miami) – NFL Comp ► Matt Ryan
  • Patrick Mahomes (Texas Tech)

:dahell: The fukk is so funny? I hit on Mahomes. Dobbs will blow soon. And unfortunately a back injury derailed Brad Kaaya.
Dobbs is 3rd string. Not getting any run in Jax.

Too bad Dobbs didn't stay with the Steelers. He would have had a chance to prove you right :mjgrin:

Nah. Its good he got away from Pittsburgh. They've not done well the last 2 drafts. I don't see them as a strong team talent-wise moving forward (especially on offense).

Also Dobbs won't be on Jacksonville for long. They'll either trade or cut him in the off-season. They're one of those teams that don't typically carry 3 QBs. Dobbs is good enough to be a #2 on several teams. One of them will pick him up and then his legend will begin. Its inevitable.

The one position he seems to do very well with each year is the HB position.

And, I hope you end up being correct about Derek Rivers.:pachaha:.

RB is the most purely athletic position. All the other positions have a strong element of scheme. Its why RBs transition the fastest and wear out the soonest while other positions are tougher to transition into from college.
