JD has a great pro day. He will be a top 3 pick.

On the other hand, experts sometimes have takes that are so bad even the average person sees it.

Anthony Fauci insisted that his knowledge of the molecular structure of covid 19 made it nearly impossible that it could be human engineered.

Scouts said Joe Burrow lacked an NFL QB build.

The head of the US patent office in 1900 recommended closing it because most of what couldbe invented already had been.

Jimmy G. isnt close to Captain Kirk. What a silly thing to say.

No one bats 1.000 that’s true, but if the avg person sees it in cases like this it’s a lot more like a blind squirrel finding a nut from time to time.

I don’t think your examples are applicable here but I get the general point that experts are often wrong, though there is a difference between just missing a projection or prediction and public officials lying for political reasons.

Regarding the NFL draft and especially QBs my observation is the default position of message board posters is everyone sucks except for maybe the guy from “my team”. There will be countless threads between now and the draft with posters saying Williams sucks and Mayne sucks and will be bust. Just like a year ago many of the same posters said CJ Stroud would suck. And many also spent most of the 2022 season and all of the 2023 off season blasting Daniels for his inability to throw downfield.

There are many reasons why players succeed or fail at the next level, including who drafts them, the coaching and his own work ethic and personality. Now one can predict that, so you go on the things you can see and hope your team can make it work.

So in this guy's mind, teams should be lining up to take Mayes #1 as a can't-miss starter?

Too bad these are anonymous... I'd love to know who this guy is, and what he says about other drafts. He'd either be hailed as a genius, or nobody would ever listen to him again.

Regarding Daniels, the one thing that would scare me is that he didn't like to slide, that he'd occasionally do a crazy-man leap into a linebacker or safety and might get killed. Beyond that, I'd say he's an elite prospect.

I might even suggest that he's a higher prospect than Burrow. Before you lose your minds here, consider this: LSU brought in Joe Brady, who used a lot of Sean Payton's system and schemes. Burrow ran it and looked damn good.
We know that system helped Brees set every record for QBs, so if you can run it, you will look great.
Daniels came into Mike Denbrock's system, which nobody ever accused of being a stat padder. I think the previous best QB was Desmond Ridder, and the idea was that he could be good when he got into a different system.
Daniels then put up insane numbers and won the Heisman.
What could HE do in a Payton-like system?

Maybe they're trying to draft JD and want his stock to drop a bit
