Ingram or Decastro?

Hate to beat a dead horse, but nobody is a sure thing in the draft.

I know it's annoying to say that, but it's the truth. To say one player is more reliable than another when neither have played a single down or spent a single second in the NFL is a ridiculous argument.

then you just said that one might as well throw darts at a list and pick whoever the dart lands on. Forget interviews and watching game film, etc.

No. It just means you should be more cautious when comparing prospects based on their 'reliability'.

BS. DeCastro is clearly more 'reliable' so that still makes your point non existent.

No, it's bull**** to say someone is clearly more reliable when 'reliability' as it relates to the NFL is a quality no one can really predict or discern. What makes him 'clearly' more reliable? That you like him better? Or because he's a guard from Stanford, whereas Ingram is a DE from S. Carolina?

Or if it's 4 and 1, and you're on the team's 42, with 56 seconds to go and you're behind by a point– And the guard you're suppose to run behind get's stuffed at the line of scrimmage so you gain zero yards on your line plunge.


Yeah, I can see why guards aren't considered "game changers".

I think drafting a guard like DeCastro is a very sexy pick.
