Mcintosh hears from Draft Board

[thinkkaz]

Can you also remind me...Who is on the draft board?

The NFL Draft Advisory Board is a running joke within front offices and agents. It's a mix of scouting services and some front office personnel. People within the industry know the scouting services aren't very good, and the front office personnel treat it like college coaches treat their Top 25 ballots through the first month of the season. Additionally, some front office people are shady with their rankings based on how they want the draft to shake out with options.

Take the Advisory Board rankings with a grain of salt.

Before anyone gets too optimistic, all this translates into is that he was told he isn't likely a first or second round pick. If his goal is to just be drafted and 3rd or 4th round will suffice he wasn't told that is off the table.

I am almost certain Walton, Kayaa, Yearby and a whole host of other Canes going back to Forston, Streeter, etc. were told no different and it didn't matter at all.

If we can keep 1 of the two DTs I consider it a huge win for next season.

I hope it works out for Walton, but everyone else on that list should have listened to what they were told.

Go Canes!

I wish all our guys success, even when their decision appears to be woefully stupid. I do fear for Walton however. He's coming off an injury and there really isn't a lot of film on him where he showed a lot of distinguishing elements.

I knew that would be the NFL's advice. Unfortunately, UM players tend not to listen to sound advice when it comes to leaving early. I'm hoping RJ reverses that trend.

For the first time in years it will actually pay off for kids to stay. For over a decade it simply didn't matter if a kid came back for their senior season, since we were going to suck anyway. Now there's a real reason to stick around. Good players on good teams get noticed more than good players on crap teams. Just my two cents.

 

[Pentagon Cane]

RJ comes from a solid family and I'm sure he will get sound advice. He will be the best tackle in the ACC and a bona fide Outland Trophy candidate and likely first or second team pre-season All-American. As a fourth year guy, he can only be that much better in his money year. He will be the dominating player on a Top 5 defense next year.

It has been mostly accurate. Majority of the time the guys they tell they wont be 1st or 2nd round picks usually dont. Everything is not something to bîtch about.

This. The advisory board has something like a 79% accuracy rate. If they tell you you're not a 1st or 2nd round talent, they're almost always right.

RJ can leave now, get drafted in the 4th or 5th round, hope to make a roster, and be easily dismissed if he doesn't pan out early. Or he can stay another year, improve draft stock, maybe actually make a lot of money up front and should he need a little development time, GMs are more likely to keep you around if you're an early pick. Guys drafted in the 5th-7th are easily axed. GM's look bad if they have to cut guys they pick in the earlier rounds. GM's want to justify their picks so they'll keep a 3rd rounder around a lot longer than a 5th rounder.

Walton is getting drafted in the 3rd or 4th round.

 

[mirvin88]

Told y'all. Both should and likely will return.

Nope, everyone swore McIntosh was no worse than a 2nd rd pick

 

[CaneSince4Ever]

LOL @ b!tches on this thread getting their Vickies in a wad because kids are thinking about leaving early..."Like OMG!, I can't believe He's leaving early!!!"...LMAO!

Listen, this ain't 2011 where you're gonna have mass, premature defections.

As long as UM attracts the talent that they do, this is gonna happen every year we have underclassmen that are draft eligible...Richt's just gonna have to get used to it and learn to manage it.

This is Miami, not ******* I N G Duke.

This is incorrect. Yes, 79% for round 1 or 2 seems like a good number, but a majority is based off of the obvious names who ask the advisory board, and doesn't include the guys who actually move way up from the rankings or those who just don't ask them. In reality the 79% is a number based off of a total of about 20-25 kids, when in reality there are 64 picks between the two rounds.

Trust me, RJ isn't a 4th or 5th round pick, as multiple teams (internally) have him as a 1st or 2nd round pick.

 

[L A M P]

Walton is getting drafted in the 3rd or 4th round.

For his sake I hope so.

 

[L A M P]

That's not true.

 

[TrueFloridian]

We want the DT's back. If Jackson leaving early could help sway both Campbell and Surtain the please leave MJ.

Nobody has him as a 1st or 2nd round pick. You just making up all types of shît. If teams had him there the board would have gave him a 1st or 2nd round grade. Richt has connects too and he gets those guys to tell the players where they are being projected at.

And you know this how?

NFL teams keep a lot their draft intention super secret, especially on sleepers they don’t want anyone else to know they’re considering. Yet a guy on a message board knows the inner workings and strategies of NFL General Managers’ strategic draft plans? Of multiple teams? Sounds legit.

 

[fresssh]

Mccintosh, Norton, Willis, Bethel, Ford, Nesta. Not sure if theres a better group of DTs in the country

Walton has shown plenty on film. The question is what's he going to run? 4.5 2nd day pick, 4.6 3rd day pick.

 

[nycane]

for him to say that publicly means he is probably thinking about returning. If is not ready, neither is norton.

 

[The Franchise]

Walton will make a team in camp because he's going to be a killer STs player. I doubt he wows anyone at the combine.

I'm hoping the trend was a trend due to the players wanting to get the **** away from Golden/Shannon and their incompetent staffs
