Kyle McCord to NFL Draft

[djcon57]

I don't think I have ever heard Jordan Palmer more effusive about a quarterback.
Edit: Says teams don't see him the way the media does.

I love McCord but just some context here.

Palmer is McCord’s trainer.
Palmer has done this in the past about guys he’s trained most notably Deshawn Watson

If scouts only cared where you played then so many kids from secondary schools would not be drafted at all

I don't think the Pitt game matters at all to scouts unless it happened over and over which it didn't

I was tracking where McCord was in draft projections through the year. Prior to the Pitt game he was around #100 in a bunch. After the Pitt game he dropped off several projections. He started climbing back in a couple games later, made a big jump after Miami and has continued to gain momentum.

I suspect the Pitt game did scare teams (or at least folks who do draft projections) off initially, but teams have started to view his career holistically now. Additionally that game was just a weird anomaly - once guys really getting into breaking down individual players, when they look at that game it looks like a blue moon event where flukey unrepeatable stuff happened. Several tipped balls that ended up as INTs (with two being pick sixes) instead of incompletions.

I think the takeaway is folks who run the draft projections sites react way too much week to week based on individual games. That’s led a lot of people to think the Pitt game is some giant stain on McCord’s resume.
