[QUOTE="AmishMafia, post: 555338, member: 2846"] Why? I never understood this attitude. We don't have any idea who will win the SB? Yet we will discuss that. We won't know who will win our NFCN, but we will discuss that and give our opinions. We don't know who will win each game, but we will also discuss that. But when it comes to the draft we should not have opinions after the fact? An ESPN analyst a few years ago wrote dozens of stories on a hundred prospects before the draft. Analyzing all the pros and cons of the play and what system they will fit and how they will translate to the NFL. As the draft unfolded he made recommendations for each team who they should pick and when they did pick, he critiqued it - ridiculing some picks and praising others. Upon the completion of the draft they asked him which teams get the best grades and he announces that he can't give out grades because he has to wait 3 years to know. I wish during his analysis of each pick he just said, "I have no idea if this is a good pick or not, get back to me in 3 years." Hell, after 3 years Matt Millen could figure it out. No we won't know for sure how these players will do, but if you have a great understanding of football, knowledge of team systems, understanding of the talents needed to be successful, then you can look at a draft and form an opinion if it will likely be successful or not. Think of it this way, if there was no way to know if players would be successful, NFL teams would not have scouting staffs and the NFL would do away with the draft and just randomly assign players to teams.
