This brings up a point I heard today and get sick of hearing. You notice how all of these GM's are smarter than everyone from this board to local fan boards. I would guess 80% of this board knows Winston will suck yet watch him go #1 overall.. Really, they can judge the way they act like they can. I am sure many people predicted failure with Jamarcus Russel but guys obviously more knowledgeable than me knew better.
It is as if just because you are a head coach or a position assistant, the truth is you have that job because of God given ability. To a sensible fan, the scout is not much better.
True story. NFL combine back in the day, talked with an Arizona guy and they wanted to take Wendell Bryant. They were drunk so more willing to talk about their plans.
Coaches are 50 times better than we are at gameplanning, but I think a knowledgeable guy can figure out who will be good as much as some regional scout.
Nothing was better than 2002 draft with Vick going #1. What did I hear "If you can just show him to throw from the pocket he will be great"...I could say that about a 2nd team safety.
