2015 Rookie Prediction Time Capsule

[JoshGordonsDealer]

A LOT of people missed on David Johnson

A LOT of people missed on David Johnson

everyone did.

except the Cardinals, i guess.

who, interestingly, were waiting for Abdullah to fall to them and scrambled to decide on DJ after Detroit took Abdullah

but yeah, a lot of people missed on DJ. it's why i can't take "he missed on DJ" as a legitimate criticism of a talent evaluator.

Time to open the time capsule yet?

And rather than bump 2 2015 threads - here is a link to a poll on who people thought would be the most likely WR bust of 2015:

A lot of Abdullah love and Tevin hate...

And a thread with a poll for the 2015 RBs

Wow, completely forgot that I made this

Gurley vs. Gordon
White vs. Parker
Yeldon vs. Coleman
Duke Johnson vs. Abdullah vs. David Johnson
Perriman vs. Agholor vs. Dorsett
DGB vs. Funchess
Winston vs. Mariota
Strong vs. Devin Smith vs. Conley

I guess the only one I got "wrong" so far is Conley. Don't remember being that high on Devin Smith, but it's interesting now that he has an opportunity is Dallas.

Kudos to the ppl who had Lockett as their favorite other WR, i saw quite a few ppl wrote his name in.

This makes me want to sell my 2020 first round picks. Even Cooper has fallen short of most expectations.
Am I overreacting?

Oh wow. That was the first dynasty rookie draft I did when I actually researched and scouted. Amari went 1 and Gurley 2. I took Parker at 5. MG fell to 7 or 8. Took DJ at 2.4 (got that pick for Martavis). Ajayi in the 3rd. Good times.

Let’s hope 2020 turns out better. Team 2 depends on it

[Pullo Vision]

Interesting read. Lots of ppl preferred Devin Smith. And, this comment was interesting-

I believe Gurley will have less longevity than Gordon, not that Gordon is the better talent.....

I look back over my 1st round picks over the years (Doctson, Perriman, JMatt, etc.) and always think I should trade away my picks every year, but it is so hard to trade for me to pull the trigger! The only ones that have somewhat worked out are Sammy, Mixon, and Sony Michel but even those are not slam dunks.

I remember this.

I had drafted David Johnson in every league I could. Then, on some obscure podcast where they interviewed head coaches, F*#KING Bruce Arians was giving David Johnson the business like I had never heard. Tearing him down, saying how much work he has to do, etc. I couldn't believe it. I sold all my shares as quickly as I could before word got out.

That was how I learned about coach speak, lol. I'll never listen to coaches talking up or talking down their players ever again. I completely nailed DJ, but got talked out of it by some stupid podcast interview I heard while driving to work. I still remember the exact location I was on the road because I was so amazed at what I was hearing. Never again...

Tevin Coleman, on the other hand, I wiffed completely. 100% wrong. He wasn't on my radar and I wanted no part of him.

Wow 2015 was an ugly class.

I trade my 1sts every year.
No ragrats.

I would rather get some 2nds for upside fliers.

I looked into this once. If you have a top 6 pick, it's worth using on average. If you have a 7-12 pick, it's worth trading back for a future 1st and a 2nd.

Again, this is on average. This year a top 4 pick would have been worth using imo.
