My methodology: I reviewed zero tape. I relied on the following resources, in order:
1. Which teams interviewed which players. I spent hours looking to see both which positions teams focused on and also around which general draft slot were players interviewed. I also looked at team needs, but didn't make this a huge factor, as long as there was some need for the team, I went BPA all the way down the board (which is, I think, how all NFL teams do it)
2. Quotes from scouts and personnel men. For instance, when I hear this in Dan Pompei's positional guide about Cordarelle Patterson: '"He is one of the best playmakers to come out the last few years," an NFC director of college[URL="http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png"]
[/URL] scouting said.' and this about tavon austin: '"He is soooo small," one high-ranking AFC executive said. Another college scouting director said, "I think he'll overcome his lack of size. He's a great player, a little like Steve Smith."', I start thinking that NFL teams care a lot more about size than draftniks.
3. The only draft people I pay attention to are former NFL scouts and executives, generaly in order of when they were last with a team. In order, I listen to: Bruce Kebric, Bill Polian, Daniel Jeremiah, and Bryan Broaddus. I pay by far the most attention to Kebric, and I listen to all of Greg Cosell's stuff too, but weigh it a little lower (he knows his stuff, but his idea of which traits are valuable seems to be different than NFL teams).
So, here it is:
