[QUOTE="TJV, post: 555364, member: 4300"] I’ve posted this before. It’s the reaction of a now banned poster from this forum to the trade up for Clay Matthews. I’m posting it again because IMO it belongs in the HOF of dumb *** comments generally, and certainly regarding draftees. [I]“are you guys joking... we gave up WAY TOO MUCH for him.. are you kidding me we give up three picks to draft a guy who was a backup de for all of his carrer besides the last 10 games of usc's season.... we just drafted a co special team player of the year in the first round... that was the worst pick we could have ever possibly made.. hes an undersized linebacker and an undersized de.. hes absolutely useless..id much rather have poppinga started at olb then him... i am completely dissapointed we drafted a back up/ speacial teams player in the first round...its embarrassing”[/I] and, [I]“regardless if he was at usc or not he was still a back up linebacker in college... this isnt college anymore this is the nfl... if you can't even start in college how could i believe he will be amazing in the nfl.. i cant help but doubt him... he only started 10 games and that was because of injury to the starter..he ranked 4th on the team in tackles so that means we got the worst usc linebacker in the draft and we wasted a first rounder on him...”[/I] Grading drafts right after they happen doesn’t do any harm – they can be ignored if it really bothers someone. What I find fascinating is the certainty expressed by many of those who do the grading. The pros know even with all the work that goes into it, it’s a crap shoot; a calculated crap shoot, but still a crap shoot.That’s one of the reasons Thompson traded down so much as he was building the roster after he arrived.
