Hello friends! It’s been a long time. My jobs took me away from writing for Zone Reads, and then we had some web hosting issues, but now we’re back. I don’t have a football writing job anymore (or any job at present), so I have more time to write about the draft and such. I’m […]
Where We’ve Been
Those of you who still follow Zone Reads have probably noticed, unavoidably so, that we haven’t posted anything since the 2017 draft. There are a few reasons for that. The biggest one, is that our Editor-in-Chief (me) started a gig writing a weekly column about the New Orleans Saints for The Bayou Brief. That has […]
Here’s your day 2 mock
People love reading this stuff, right? Anyway, here’s a quick before-bed rundown of how rounds 2 and 3 might go.
J.R.’s Big Board
Straight from “vixticator” himself, with the following message: “Still a work in progress. Want to publish where i am now. Not necessarily a top 200 as much as how I rank whoever is on the board. Final ranking created by where it looked intuitively correct to place players, based on the information I have now. […]
Final Zone Reads Big Board
At last. I will try to add a breakdown by each position, too. One thing I want to point out is that toward the end, we start dealing with issues of confidence. You may like some of the players in my 6th-round / 7th-round tiers better than I do. That’s okay– in many of these […]
Final first-round mock
Figured I’d give this one last swing before the draft. The Zone Reads Big Board will be out later today as well. I tried to include some brief writeups on each player here when I could.
The Zone Reads Ramblin’ Draft Podcast, 2017
Vix and I recorded a podcast, in the highly technical and professional fashion you have come to expect from the frequency with which we publish on the blog. We had fun making it, though, and it does take us on quite the winding journey throughout this year’s NFL Draft prospects, our methods of evaluation, and even a few […]
Why is Mike Lombardi trotting out tired stereotypes as analysis?
Mike Lombardi posted a column recently on The Ringer about his seven quarterback insights. I won’t get too much into it here, but suffice to say that it was based in a ridiculous amount of intangibles and hindsight, and biased to the point of being racist. Deadspin covered it well: Donovan McNabb played 13 […]
Updated top-100 board
I shared this a few days ago on Twitter but I didn’t make a post for it. I’ll try to have some more detailed thoughts at some point, but in the meantime, enjoy our current top-100 board if you missed it. More rankings to come soon, I hope.
Dueling Mock II: Three Rounds, 3/10
We did it again. Another mock draft, taking into account the Combine and the first wave of free agent signings. Haven’t been posting in a while due to other life obligations, but if you follow Zone Reads on Twitter (@zonereads, naturally) you can get a good handle on what we’re up to these days. Without further […]
