[QUOTE="AmishMafia, post: 529473, member: 2846"] Great point. Some people think it is easy to assess talent - physical skills are easy, but there is much more to it than that. Each season there are maybe 3 or 5 players who can step in day one and play at the NFL level - these are the only guys who are 'easy' to project. A bunch more get it during or soon after training camp and produce well as rookies. Most, though, you hope are able to make the step up within a year or two. So, the vast majority of NFL draft picks you are projecting what they may become with work, training, and growth. You can't predict how strong a player will become or his motivation to work - especially after you cut him a check for more money he has ever seen in his lifetime - opening up not-positive-for-athletes-opportunities he has never known. And I don't just mean drugs - I mean big houses with pools; women; vacations; fine dining; etc. All of which are fine (except the drugs of course) - just brings about some level of distraction.
