[QUOTE="SuperRat, post: 146128, member: 329"] I think fans pay way too much attention to ESPN and other sports media on rankings of players. They all seem to focus on players from major football colleges and not by pure individual talent. Scouts get paid to check out how a player can play apart from the strengths and weaknesses of their teams. I remember two years ago they were going on and on about this Michigan safety, I forget his name, but people on this board were shouting for him to be chosen and when Nick Collins, who ESPN had as undrafted, was picked in the second round people were angry. Fact is that michigan safety didn't get drafted and isn't in the NFL and Nick Collins is a starter. Showing that perhaps the teams scouts know more than the media and we should give the players a chance to play before bad mouthing their pick. Media ratings mean nothing. [/QUOTE]
