TSN's War Room apparently doesn't drug test

WesDawg · 04-25-2007, 11:14 AM

For anyone who is a fan of both the NFL and upcoming draft, and hilarious comedy, I HIGHLY recommend running out to purchase the current issue of The Sporting News (April 23rd - Draft Preview Issue). I picked it up last night and there are simply too many headscratching items in there to even start on here.
Their Mock Draft is an absolute train wreck and the player rankings by position are laughable, at best. The individual team analysis section is written by each team's TSN correspondent, and they are all over the place.

I don't know if they were just trying to be cute and original and go off the beaten path with "edgy" predictions or what, but I no longer give that crew any credibility on this subject.

I am a subscriber to TSN the mag..and I have to agree. They are really off base in alot of there picks. They have players jumped up 10 to 15 spots higher than most. Some of it is pretty funny.

They are always off on mock drafts but it is fun to read thier player reviews.

The biggest problem I had was how they contradicted themselves, saying a team would take player X and then showing that team take player Y in the mock draft. Apparently the individuals writing the capsules and doing the mock draft were not the same people.

There were some good insights, but like anything with the draft, you have to pick and choose and apply a little common sense.
