[QUOTE="TJV, post: 554958, member: 4300"] IMO McGinn’s bias is not to appear to be a Packers fan and I appreciate journalists that at least attempt to be objective - although no one can be completely objective. And I believe he relates information he gleans from his NFL sources accurately (BTW, I’m not sure why the verb “preaches” is used in this context). IMO that information is what makes McGinn particularly valuable in covering the Packers. OTOH average Packers fans are, by definition, subjective in their view of the Packers (not that there’s anything wrong with that). McGinn’s information from NFL personnel, particularly that information gathered before the draft is IMO much more objective and agenda-free than the opinions of Packers fans. I also think the opinions of NFL personnel people are much more informed than those of the "experts" and of course of fans. McGinn does qualify his analysis of the Packers draft by writing, "If forced to take a premature position, my guess would be…" He doesn’t make it clear if he is assigning the number grades or if they are the average of the personnel people he spoke with. Either way, I found those scores to be confusing and contradictory. As to his overall early analysis of the draft class: Those are all facts that certainly may be viewed in a negative light. They may or may not significantly impact how this draft is graded 3+ years from now. I, along with many draft “experts” am much higher on the prospects of this draft class. For example, I think since both Clinton-Dix and Adams have acceptable speed for their positions, instincts in the former and strength, hands and leaping ability in the latter will make up for lack of elite speed. But I’m a biased Packers fan… [/QUOTE]
