[QUOTE="AmishMafia, post: 661130, member: 2846"] Yes, I do get that and understand the human element. If I was a GM I would only draft players who had a real passion for the game and were mature. There is so much risk involved with a kid looking for the good life after living dirt poor all his life. Its human nature to not work as hard if you dont have to. Football is a very physical game that takes its toll on the body. I can see why the option of living in a mansion with a pool and friends would alter your apprpach to football. But people take the "you can't tell" thing too far. You only need to look at the likelihood of a pick being a pro bowler to see the correlation with draft position. Better players are taken more often before bad players. You can never tell for sure, but you have a pretty good idea and assess the risk with each pick. Mistakes are made, but most of the time the GM understood the risk and it just didnt pan out. [/QUOTE]
