NFL draft: Value chart II

By National Football Post

 

When draft boards are constructed, NFL teams take one of two approaches. The first is to rank the draft’s top 32 players and give each a first-round grade, followed by the draft’s next 32 prospects, who garner second-round grades, and so on.

 

The second approach is to use a value chart, in which each prospect, based on film study, earns a grade depending on his play. If only 25 prospects grade out as first-round talent, only 25 receive first-round grades. This allows NFL teams to see the full value of the draft and not force first-round grades on prospects who aren’t worthy.

 

Here is the National Football Post’s second value chart of the draft season,

I've been a tad lucky. My first serious office job where I had internet access the owners son was the IT guy and I showed him some website with tons of flash internet games so he ignored my curious nature. And my current and hopefully lifelong job is family-based. So long as I get the job done I do not have any restrictions.

It definitely pays to be buds with the IT guy

[Nesta]

Not that we need to do it or anything but it is tempting to have so many top tier Tackles in our reach.

Diehl is a much better guard than tackle.

When I worked for the City...our IT guy was this Russian dude....he, I and this NIgerian dude would be playing all of the online games we could get our hands on. He would mind wipe everyone's comps....except ours. I used to giggle as I heard the cries of the forlorn as their solitaire games were deleted. LOL!!!

nice list P4P, although I still think the Giants aren't going WR in round 1

What'd you show him candystand or something? Miniclip?

 

I could spend hours playing Candystand.

Neither do I, but there's a lot of speculation that we are because of how much defense we got in free agency. I'd like to get a strong linebacker to mold into our next MLB when Pierce starts to decline. AP should be able to help mold a guy.
