Falcanuck Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Yeah, they look at them and do the opposite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlfanstckndenver Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 It would depend on the GM. Maybe they would consider reading them for amusement? But I guarantee many of them would just scoff at this and laugh. Some would scoff and then click on their bookmarked mocks to secretly take in the ideas. One thing I've wondered about is if they use mocks to gauge public interest. None of them would EVER admit to any of it even if they did.

Captain Insano Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I bet if I did a mock draft, it would be better than TD's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEIST Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 so what you're saying is we need more mocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis York Morgan Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Felt like every player we drafted last year minus Collins and Rodgers was a TATF favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Charley Casserly opinion's highly rated and has a solid track record with the Redskins for several years so this definitely has some weight to it.

Yea I don't question what Charley said at all. Of course there is weight to it. I just don't think active gms are going to admit it publicly. Maybe I'm wrong. Lol I can visualize an active gm being asked this in an interview and chuckling as a response. Then right after the interview using his phone to pull up Kiper's latest mock. Gms are pretty confident people in general. I imagine they wouldn't want to admit it if they drafted a player using mock draft information. Although Charley is talking about using them for reconnaissance and info on other teams. Not just trying to find players that maybe they wouldn't have considered otherwise.

Atlfanstckndenver Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I like Charley myself. One of my favorite former gm analysts. I've been liking Louis Riddick more and more lately too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
