With these and other tools, we try to make a calculated guess on who we like, or  might be available at a certain spot in the draft by our favorite team.Now, lets fast forward to Draft Day.  32 different NFL teams "Boards" get thrown into the fray, that we don't, and never will have access to.  These boards have been worked on and put together, for who knows how long, by "Guys" who do this for a living. They have watched games in the stands, broke down game tape, done personal interviews with these prospects, and now have to decide which players they want the most on their football team.  This is why I don't agree with the term "Reach" in a draft pick, there are too many unknown variables in the Draft. With Bill Tobin passing this week, I think it's fitting to end my post with a quote that will live forever in the NFL Draft archives " Who the h*** is Mel Kiper anyway".</blockquote>
