Gil Brandt on Matt Johnson

[trueblue1687]

Gil is getting old for sure, but he still knows football. I guess what I didn't understand was the purpose of the indictment on him from Plankton. If you don't like the guy's picks in the past, I'm ok with that....but if you're gonna lump him in with Kiper and Mayock (not specifically mentioned, but left me wondering if they were some of the 'others' he mentioned as being better) who have essentially no chops, or some of the former scouts floating around on the web (for a reason most likely), then the argument loses some steam. Drafting players isn't a science...it's a gamble, no matter how long you sit in front of a TV...or in Gil's case back in his day: a projector screen. I thought the guy did pretty well overall.

I know people don't seem too happy with the pick but
Gil Brandt was all over it yesterday saying that if he had played
last year that he would have likely been a very high draft pick....
Said he kind of fell of the radar because of an injury at the end
of the prior season...encouraging,just thought I'd share

good enough for me
lets wait and see
