He also kindly forgot to mention that I was drafting him in Rd 4 because he was available then.  I had a second round grade on him.  He rated higher than the LB from Clemson in some matters according to PFF.  We were drafting at the beginning of Rd 4, and that was where I selected him multiple times.  I just had a higher rating on some of the WR class, and I consistently went for more offensive line help. 

He was the 27th overall pick, and I kept mocking him at pick 107.  Fred took that to mean that I had a fourth round grade on him.  It didn't.  It simply meant that at the fourth round selection, he was the highest rated player remaining that was a position of need.  As he repeatedly pointed out (as sage as water being wet) that I didn't know where other teams had him ranked.  He was a later round pick BY MANY before the combine and he shot up the charts.  The cool thing about SIMs is they use a previously submitted player ranking by someone like Bucky Brooks or some former NFL scout to stack up the players for the other teams.  Of course it is just a projection, that is why you never just say:  This is who I want in Rd 1, Rd 2, Rd 3, etc, because those players could very well be gone.  Who do you have fourth round grades on?  Can you get them a round later because a player from round 3 dropped?  That is the fun of the SIM.  

Sorry for the rant.  Just wanted to clarify the point of the evaluation of one's projections.  The only real way is to look at rankings vs career after four years.
