Chad Ford exposed by Reddit User

Changing his Draft Boards a year after the draft to make himself look better.

Apparently he has done it for the past 5 years and possibly longer actually.

Not gonna jump to any conclusions due to the amount of bull that Reddit produces, but this does look convincing.
Damn I liked Chad Ford, this is just a weak thing to do. Stick by what you predicted wrong, or you look like you care too much about your image instead of your work

Good lord, it is sports. We all know there is not science to it. I don't think any analyst is a genius based on his draft picks. Stupid.

Well, you can't take credit for what's not yours. Ford's big board is supposed to be based on a rough consensus about what GMs and scouts think leading up to the draft. It's never been Ford's personal take on who the best players were. Most of his chats/articles have a few remarks that say 'if this was my own rankings, I would have him much higher/lower,' etc.

Ford is a very poor man's Jonathon Givony anyway. If you want top notch draft info you don't go to Ford.
