Draft Scout's Prospect Rankings.

TC : 2/21/2018 11:17 pm
With the #2 pick in the draft the NY Giants take . . . .

STRONG SAFTEY DERWIN JAMES of Florida State! (Hey, it's their idea!)

And the best QB in the draft is . . . . MASON RUDOLPH! Rosen and Darnold are only 3rd and 4th, respectively.

Boy, won't this be a lively place if the Giants grab an OL at #2!

Those projections make me think this individual has been in hibernation since week 4 of the college football season.

I believe CBS IS Draft Scout. (But thank you anyway! ;-)
Or at least it used to be.

Eric refers to it in the links section as CBS Sports.com (NFL Draft Scout) And that's what I've always known it as. See below.

Is this very important? While I'd rather be accurate, you seem to be a lot more focused on debating the name, rather than discussing the substance of their rankings.

so when I clicked a link to CBS, I was annoyed. I think it only makes sense to use a referent correctly. Not sure why that's controversial.
It looks like it's Eric mistake  
adamg : 2/22/2018 12:13 am : link
So you shouldn't be taking anything personally. It's an honest mistake to make given that page.

Sorry you're annoyed, but you'll have to take that up with Eric! ;-)
Well I'm going to take it up with you

If you keep referring to that damn CBS website. I can't stand that place.

You should check out the actual NFL Draft Scout website. It's a lot better.

cbssports.com had a pretty good draft site with scout's breakdowns by position and round. Something has gone terribly wrong there.

I think it's closer to draft time that they start to actually post content like good scouting reports, but it's too early still.
I think TC is right in that...

NFL Draft Scout used to be part of CBSSportsLine, but something changed in the past couple of years.
ZERO chance Giants take a SS at #2

When sites post projections like that I totally discount anything they have to say.

You didn't click on the link. Its not a mock draft, its just their player rankings. They believe the SS is the second best player entering the draft. They have a couple of mocks that have the G-men taking Rosen; whom they rank as the 16th best prospect entering the draft. Their overall rankings for a few other QBs are: Rudolph - 10, Jackson - 14, Darnold - 19, Baker - 36, Allen - 120
Mason Rudolph as the number 1 QB ...  
Spider56 : 2/22/2018 7:48 am : link
I agree .
Rudolph  
Sy'56 : 2/22/2018 9:26 am : link
is not far from the other guys at all. And I wouldn't be surprised if half the teams have him at or above Rosen.

Ah, another contrarian!

I thought Rudolph looked on a par with other top QB's in the small amount of video I've watched of him. But I always realize I might be mistaken.

It seems many sites use other draft prospect sites, as well as popular buzz, as the primary source of their rankings.

we're looking at this class 5 years from now I wouldn't be shocked if Derwin was the best player to come from this class.

If only Eli was a few years younger...
