[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 1026200, member: 5830"] What really determines where someone is drafted? It is 100% based on scout and GM analysis and perceptions. It's not actually based on objective metrics, it is all subjective. If it were objective, a guy like Matt Flynn who went 12-2 and beat OSU for the National Championship would have been a first round pick. Tom Brady went 40-9 at Michigan - albeit with marginal stats - but was a proven winner. Sixth round for him. There are plenty of examples of players that excel at the combine, climb the draft boards, and then fail. Why? Because it's all about how much love these guys have for a player. So while scouts and GMs look at the metrics, it really all boils down to whether or not they *think* someone will succeed in the NFL and specifically on their team. Yes, some scouts and GMs are good at their jobs and therefore more of the top picks succeed than the lower picks, but the draft position is not what determines a player's success in the NFL. [/QUOTE]
