I understand the statistical nature of how late rounds, plus the UDFAs, give you little.
But if you want to win a Super Bowl, or have won one, or have gotten close, you take a stab and you win. .. Like M Cuban says or said - so few teams draft their way to a championship. But if you want one, it is very very good to try to draft good and not open a can of "give up." ... You find the Draymond Greens in the 2nd round. Or Tony or Brady.
Not as big a fan as you guys but I wrote a few days ago that I read in my brief look into this that Matt Johnson, Bowling Green, accd to some smart people, may be the best developmental QB in the draft. Let's spend one of those late 6th picks on him, before anybody else does. .. It is better to take him than a special teams player LB type .. even if, let's say, we took a QB before him, take him.. .. I think of RG3 and K Cousins ...
Small school guys very questionable though. I remember BW Webb. I remember a guy from Elon College who had every record as a WR in Div II or whatever Elon is - maybe 5 few years ago - the most yardage, most TDs ever, tall enough, everything (that we signed as UDFA) you watched him on YouTube and he looked like Jerry Rice and his only drawback - ran a 4.7 or so ..
He was among our first cuts that preseason, sorry to say.
My prejudice is to take a short guy who kills it in every way except that he is short. ... But there are no "Rudys" in the NFL anymore I'm afraid ..
What say you guys - I want to read you smarter guys than me - because I don't want to go to sleep Saturday afternoon of draft .. who might fall?
