If so, what a jackass for listening to a guy on ESPN and thinking he's the expert. There is a reason he works for ESPN and not for an NFL team. And a reason why most of his information is just inside info straight from the scouts. Snead's probably one of those guys that a dude like McShay or Kiper will throw up on their board because they heard a TINY positive about him from a scout. With the hopes of getting lucky on one of them and thinking it makes them look smart.
As the hipsters say, "this." ESPN has been a joke for as long as I can remember. It's really insulting to people's intelligence to try and make the claim that they are "experts." It's really not that hard to look at where teams lacked during the season and see what talent is available in the draft. From there, you can get a general idea of the direction teams are thinking. Add in a few insider calls from inside the franchise and you've got yourself a solid guess. But, to call yourself an expert, when the majority of fans get the first few picks right anyway, is a joke. It just takes one team to change their mind and the domino effect eventually screws 100% of the draft projections up beyond belief.
The best part was Jon Gruden saying there would be 4-5 quarterbacks taken in the first round. I thought it'd be two, maybe three. Now of course I was wrong with who was picked, but I don't call myself an expert. I'm someone who's wise enough to know they don't know anything.

It's extremely audacious to try and predict the shit Kiper and McShay do so often. Who the hell knows what kind of season Heyword will have? None of us. It's a solid
guess to say he'll be a stud, but he could get busted letting sleeper give him handjobs during study halls and get suspended for the season. No one knows, and it's ridiculous to try and predict this stuff a year in advance.
