Why should the scores be public?

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Prospects

Very informative article. Thanks for posting. I'd love to take Claiborne too but we all know that ain't happening.

Failing to see why the scores should be public. While we're at it why don't we just release all of their medical recs too?

Medical records are private due to laws and regulations (HIPAA), much like educational scores from their universities. Those should be kept guarded under such and in no way comparable to a Wonderlic score.

A Wonderlic test for the NFL combine should be treated like a 40 yard dash, or a shuttle run. Those are not only public, but broadcasted on TV. So why not the Wonderlic score?

So you are saying that just because all of the physical activities in the combine are public, the Wonderlic test should be public as well? I think I would want to know specifically why should they be public, and not just a "just because" answer.

I think Claiborne's example is a good reason why it should not be public. When you get into IQ examinations, there could be a disclosure of some type of learning disability, which I think would be an invasion of privacy for the player.

I would be curious to know if there are guidelines and agreements in terms of what is private and what is not in terms of the Wonderlic and the team interviews with players. I would be curious to see if there are any stipulations by the NFLPA that allows for player privacy in these matters or if there are any NFL policies that protects player privacy.

I believe the NFL is not a public company, therefore I don't think the public is entitled to demand for information about NFL employees to be public "just because".

Then close off the combine to only teams and participants. Problem solved. I have 0 problem with that.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Prospects

There's actually a lot, A LOT, we don't know. And it should (in my opinion) stay that way. More is known to the general public than needs to be known

Absolutely... I wouldn't draft him with our 3rd rounder (B. Massie or Schwartz ), but if he's still available at #102, we should draft him... We could have 2 potential Wk. 1 starters in Massie/Schwartz and Thomas, and they both fill needs (RT, FS)

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Prospects

Talkin about Phillip Thomas this article shows why he want to be a Redskin. Sean Taylor had a huge impact on this kid and therefore I believe he will run through a wall for this team!!

we need safety help bad. i have never seen much of this guy, but its hard not to love his attitude. If hes up to par on the field, i would love to give him a look at being a redskin and from the sounds of it he would too and not to mention he looks up too the best guy he could for the job, seanT.

These are the types of moves I hope we make in the draft. Since it's such a weak safety market, hopefully we'll have our pick of all but the very top prospect.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Prospects

I haven't been able to fully confirm this, but since NC wants to know...Luck got a 41 on his Wonderlic and Griffin got a 44.
