Kiper Invitational Analysis Spreadsheet

[xwalker]

Agreed. Daniel Jeremiah has him in the first round to SD in his mock today. He measured in at 6-5, 307.

Same thing for Perriman, which seems to be following the "stock up" since Kiper had him going in the first a week or so ago. It is just funny how some players bounce up and down. One thing I did do is note where NFLDS had them at the end of the season and where it has changed each week with no games being played in the meantime. Never ceases to fascinate how a player stock can change dramatically with no additional tape.



It was Nation, actually.



At the end of the Combine, I bet Hundley drops like a rock in the NFLDS rankings and Humphries shoots way up.

I probably shouldn't have included the aggregate scores. I'm just working on a process and using aggregate scores after the draft will be much more interesting.

Humphries is obviously a guy that NFLDS just hasn't updated yet.

When I first noticed Trai Turner last year he was ranked 343. He had a 4th round ranking a few weeks later and ended up in the 3rd. I had him ranked as a late 2nd.

Take each value and divide it by the round, that should help offset the difference.

At least something like that.
Straight up like that would be odd, because picks 32 and 33 are basically the same but would treated radically different.
But I agree with the sliding scale thing.

So the guy I felt had the best draft has the lowest value score here.

As I said in another post, the aggregate does not mean much now, but if I use the same process and update after the real draft, it will be interesting then.

I realized that Humphries was a higher rated player by some other analysts but I didn't want to modify the NFLDS rankings for this.

It would be interesting t come up with a CZ draft rankings list. The Kiper Invitational results could be the start of a CZ list if we could get input onn which picks were high or low.

We tried it last year I thought? I think @Fredd tried to get as many people as possible to enter their big board into a big spread sheet similar to what you did here and I believe a grand total of like 7 or 8 people bothered to do it. It would definitely be a good idea, but one of those things that's easier said than executed.

Didn't I give you a 9 out of 10...

I heard recently that Humphries may have been given a "Go back to school" grade from the NFL. So getting whacked there may make plenty of sense at least as far as the grading of that particular player. Measureables are great but they were with Bruce Campbell once also.

Yes, not many people would do it that way. Some type of interactive process would be better.

I might try a thread where we start with pick 1 of the Kiper results and ask people to vote on each player's ranking being high or low.

If we could get a minimum of 3 votes per player it would probably be a good result.

No, NFLDS is just behind on updating him. Humphries will probably turn out to be a value pick.

They and other analysts tend to be behind on their rankings for guys they thought would return to school.

exactly...it was more of a pain than it was worth...I am just going to put my 2015 spreadsheet together and use the rankings of the mediots to give me the list....and, to @xwalker, I put a shared google doc out there and still people wouldn't use it....I just figured that people weren't interested at all....thus, I will just do it my way and if anyone wants the spreadsheet when it's done, I will make it available

I think we can now guess that Nation probably will having between 250-300 points more than this spreadsheet indicates.
