It will be interesting to see if, come draft day, any of these teams in the first round agree with him on Campbell.

It's sure possible.

That would mean they are both wrong. :)

Someone will take that guy too high. Happens every year.

I know I probably go overboard on the intangibles, but my draft pet peeve is when teams over-value athletic ability and overlook a player's competitiveness, production, and feel for the game.

It's why Rod Hill is a first-round pick and Everson Walls doesn't get drafted. Too much emphasis on measurables.

I watched Everson play in a benefit basketball game in the 1990s, and he had the best hand-eye coordination I've ever seen. It was the same ability that helped him get interceptions by the boatload.

If it wasn't for the fact that he looks the part, then he would be looked at waaaay down the line. I'm not sure why a select few rate him as high as they do since he never showed it on the football field (at least not to the point that they should have him up in the first round), but it only takes one team to pull the trigger I guess.

I just hope it isn't Dallas.
