and here where I am bothered. You can obviously tell who will be good and who will suck. NFL teams get too much caught up in the "value" of a player. If you think someone is good, draft them, regardless of what the circumstances are. fuck, janikowski was a 1st round pick...at 17th overall. the raiders fucking love the guy, probably retire a raider.

not saying teams should draft kickers in the the 1st round but the reason why guys bust is because bad players get pushed up the draft boards for what ever reason the same way good players get pushed down. size, stats, school, w.e. Who is to say that Luck and RG3 bust and the best QB in the class in fucking K. Moore?

It isnt a 5050 shot in the draft if you arent fucking retarded and have a decent coach

Thats exactly what the Seahawks did the last draft. They got the players they wanted and took them when they wanted and not when they were supposed to go.
