Thanks for posting Jeff.

Gould had over 100 receptions, 2,500+ yards and 30 touchdowns but only went 5th round. Guess not many teams needed a WR with 4.3 speed lol

[JeffHCross]

I don't remember Gould's height, but it seems to me that measurables are too heavy a factor. Probably designed to stop people from stat-whoring to top draft picks. But I had something similar. My MLB that was drafted late had FAR superior stats to the OLB that was drafted before him. Originally the MLB wasn't projected at all.

[skipwondah33]

He was 6-1 if I recall, maybe 6-0.

I thought it had more to do with their OVR. My QB Nelson didn't have that great of season in terms of TD-INT ratio. Threw something like 25 interceptions, but was a 99 OVR. QB's are valued higher so likely was case.

Gould was 90 OVR I'm pretty sure, 90's in route running and catching. Didn't realize he was drafted after Arkansas State, LSU, Houston and Oklahoma WR's

[JeffHCross]

I think both of us are right. OVR is a big factor (but not the sole factor). Measurables appear to be another factor. Even the best performing 5'11 QB isn't going to be a Round 1 selection. Stats are another factor.

Obviously OVR and measurables have to be weighted heavily if my backup QB (4 career passes!) gets drafted in the 4th. Though he was only 6'2, but I believe he did end up getting high 90s OVR.
