Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 5267667, member: 488"] As usual, I think the truth is somewhere between two extremes when it comes to Shedeur. He's clearly been overrated for years now as a prospect by the media. Intentionally? Maybe. It's definitely not bad for business. Colorado games got huge ratings, and I imagine the draft coverage will as well. I tend to think a lot of QBs get overrated for similar reasons. But every draft guru on the planet had him going second round at the latest for a reason. He's a legitimately good prospect that led the country in several key statistics on a Colorado team that was arguably the worst power program in college football before he arrived. Is he cocky? Yeah. Is he immature? Yes. Did he interview well? Probably not. Just don't be naive. That stuff has been known for months, and it didn't stop him from appearing on every prominent mock draft - which are generated by credentialed reporters based on intel from actual scouts - under the sun. It didn't stop Vegas from listing him at +10000 to last past the second round as of yesterday. I won't go as far as to call this a coordinated blackball attempt, but much like Kaep it does feel like a good reminder that when it comes to NFL owners acting in lockstep on issues pertaining to player control, no conspiracy is required. They're all rowing in the same direction and that's why they're so successful. [/QUOTE]
