I honestly don't care when they are selected. If four of the seven become starters and they are the last four rounds, I couldn't care. Each team has a pot of money to spread over the draft picks, how it is allocated specifically is irrelevant. Emotionally you "want" the highest paid players to succeed, but it truly doesn't matter.This is why I lean toward accumulating draft choices the way that TT generally does it. There is a lot of skill involved in talent evaluation, but in the end that is not even half of what determines a good player. Injuries, drugs & alcohol, motivational issues, and off-field problems can affect whether or not a player succeeds in the NFL. So it becomes sort of an educated gamble in the draft, even in the Top 10. I'd rather bring 10 guys into camp from the draft and hope to get 5-6 starters than trying to get that out of the standard size draft class.</blockquote>
