OnTheClock's Final Big 256 Board

Preliminary calculations are in...

Minimum goal to meet: 80% or higher on number of players predicted to be selected.
Players correctly projected to be drafted: 207 out of 256
Overall collective selection accuracy: 81%

Not a failure, but I feel I could've done much better. Very tough with such a deep draft. I expect MadDog will post his numbers soon. We'll see who the Draft King is this year.

Your big board is useful. It challenges my perceptions and makes me reconsider my evaluations.

Thank you for the board and the time and energy that you spend putting it together.

Not sure if guessing the late round players that will be drafted makes you the draft king, but it was impressive how similar his board seemed to be to the 49ers board early on.

That's damn good in my opinion - look at the run on WRs, early run on CBs, lack of RBs within the first 50 picks, disparity in QBs, etc.

When you factor all that in, along with insider info in terms of medical and off-field issues, 81% is DAMN good.

Congrats OTC - that's true zone cred right there that verifies your evaluation skills.

The "Draft King" thing is just a little friendly competition between MD and I to see who can predict the most correct selections.

It is a lot of time, work, and energy that goes into this. As an amateur talent evaluator/scout, you do the best you can without the insider information. Game footage/interviews/historical trends/current philosophy shifts in today's NFL/scheme changes/team needs/class depth analysis/annual averages of selections per position/various other forms of research all are just a part of it.

I appreciate all the kind words, friends.

Man, was this fun. Will I do it all again next year? Probably.
Good job Nick.

I went 187 for 256. Not bad I guess. Those late round guys got me.

I have you at 206/256 and CBS at 202/256 from putting everything in an excel spreadsheet. I double checked the players wrong on both CBS and your board by looking at the best available players by position to confirm that the player was not drafted. If they didn't show up there, I did a quick Google search to see if there was news of them being drafted.

These are the 50 players you had that didn't get drafted:
Overall Player Position School
76 Antonio Richardson OT Tennessee
78 Kelcy Quarles DT South Carolina
102 Marcus Roberson CB Florida
104 Anthony Johnson DT LSU
107 Shane Skov ILB Stanford
111 Rashaad Reynolds CB Oregon State
112 Jackson Jeffcoat DE/OLB Texas
118 Dion Bailey S USC
127 Christian Jones LB Florida State
131 Carlos Fields LB Winston-Salem
133 Craig Loston SS LSU
138 James Hurst OT North Carolina
141 Chris Davis CB Auburn
142 James Gayle DE/OLB Virginia Tech
145 Gabe Ikard C Oklahoma
149 Jake Murphy TE Utah
154 Adrian Hubbard DE/OLB Alabama
158 Anthony Steen OG Alabama
163 AC Leonard TE Tennessee State
168 Brandon Coleman WR Rutgers
170 Brock Coyle ILB Montana
171 Howard Jones OLB Shepherd
176 Blake Annen TE Cincinnati
177 Josh Mauro DE Stanford
178 Ethan Westbrooks DE/OLB West Texas A&M
179 Matt Patchan OT Boston College
183 Zack Kerr NT Delaware
184 George Uko DE USC
186 DeAndre Coleman DE Cal
200 Marcel Jensen TE Fresno State
203 Isaiah Crowell RB Alabama State
209 Max Bullough ILB Michigan State
214 Tyler Larsen C Utah State
219 Rajion Neal RB Tennessee
220 Albert Wilson WR Georgia State
222 Tenny Pelepoi DT Utah
225 Torrence Allen WR West Texas A&M
229 Kenny Ladler S Vanderbilt
233 Colt Lyerla TE Oregon
235 Tim Cornett RB UNLV
236 Derrell Johnson OLB East Carolina
241 L'Damian Washington WR Missouri
243 Gator Hoskins FB/TE Marshall
245 Brett Smith QB Wyoming
247 Austin Wentworth OG Fresno State
248 Bruce Gaston DT Purdue
249 Allen Hurns WR Miami
250 Denicos Allen OLB Michigan State
252 Nikita Whitlock FB Wake Forest
253 LaDarius Perkins RB Mississippi State

I'd say beating CBS is a good sign, but if a lot of people create big boards, it's expected that some will beat the CBS board. How does 80% compare to how you and MadDog normally perform? This year looked harder than some past years with how deep the draft was.

MD got 203/256.

The 53 he missed:

77 Antonio Richardson OT Tennessee
92 Jackson Jeffcoat DE Texas

For fun, I considered every player that was not picked the 300th selection (300 was arbitrary, but I didn't think it was fair to consider them all 257). Then I looked at how far off each projection was on MD and OTC's big board and added the sums for every pick. MD came out ahead being off 13132 places (an average of 51.3 per pick). OTC was off 13527 places (an average of 52.8 per pick). CBS came in between them being off 13296 places (an average of 51.9 per pick).
OTC reigns as king!!!!!

You got me this year. I relinquish my crown for 2014. I had 52 misses. Thanks to East Coast for doing the heavy lifting and providing a perfect list, minus McDougle, who went early.

I was rolling in great turf matching up with previous years. Sam and Henderson got me late and kicked me out. I AM NOT BITTER!!!!!!!

For those who attempt to make a 256 Board, under 50 misses is the Holy Grail. It is nearly impossible. Missing 52 is an outstanding number. Haven't really gone through the paid experts, but it is most common to see between 56-76 misses. I'd be shocked to see anyone beat OTC in any Big Board. Anything just above 50 is a major, major achievement.

Congrats again my friend. I'll be gunning for your crown in 363 days.

Will you do my taxes? Check in the mail. Thanks.
54 off for CBS is a marked improvement. They usually are 65+.
