All this *****ing and complaining yet players like Meredith, Sidbury, Duke Robinson, D.J. Moore James Casey and Marcus Freeman who 99% of us wanted with the 51st pick or projected to go there is still on the board.

I think some times we have to take step back and realize we don't know what we think we know.

Anyone can be a genius on a fan web site.

Not everyone can be a NFL GM.

There is a reason we are watching the draft on TV and not calling the shots for a NFL team.

Our draft evaluation skills go no further than the ability to analyze which draft-day beer we're gonna choose.

In short, we don't know ****. I agree. Even if you do a ton of reading on the draft, all you're doing is reading the opinions of OTHER people, who also know nothing.

It's fine to have favorite players and root for them to get drafted, but hating on picks made who we know NOTHING about is just dumb.

Of course! It's fun following the draft and talking about players we like, but what we don't know are the characters and work ethics of all these players from all the leg work teams do. That's a crucial piece of the puzzle we fans don't have any access to.

So many people read Mel Kiper's garbage and think that is the best player. If Kiper had any skill at all, he wouldn't be working for ESPN, he would be working for an NFL team. Obviously, no NFL team respects his ability to judge college talent.

Those that can, scout for NFL teams, those who can't, write for ESPN. :laugh2:
