The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that studies have shown NFL teams have little ability to draft the right players after accounting for where those picks take place. This is not a logical fallacy as it is based on research and data, but it does demonstrate the author's bias towards using statistics rather than relying solely on their own analysis. The article also contains an example of inflammatory rhetoric when discussing how executives can control what they maneuver around the draft board. This statement is not a logical fallacy as it is simply a fact, but it does demonstrate the author's emotional attachment to this topic and may be seen as biased.
The one thing executives can control, though, is how they maneuver around the draft board.

Deception

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that ties were broken via roundtable discussions among four scouts but does not provide any information about these discussions or how they affected the rankings. This lack of transparency makes it difficult to trust the accuracy of the rankings. Secondly, some players are ranked based on their potential rather than their actual performance in college football games, which is misleading and deceptive.

1. WR Marvin Harrison Jr., Ohio State (9.7) - This player has not yet played a game at the NFL level but was given a high ranking based solely on his potential.

The article contains several fallacies.

However, this statement is not supported by any evidence or data and therefore cannot be considered a reliable source of information.
