Nice read, but I guarantee that people will still take Mel Kipers ill-informed opinion over his, at least until week 5 or 6.

You're right.

After this, they should interview his mother. I bet people in this board would then realize this is actually a top 10 pick, and that Bill got the steal of the draft.

Sorry, but seriously, what does his coach know? We have many draft experts right here who apparently researched his game tape extensively prior to the draft despite the fact that he wasn't invited to the combine and wasn't listed in any of the draft guides. These guys really do there homework and have apparently studied extensively and analyzed every player in college football, and they know what Belichick and his staff clearly don't, that Tavon sucks. Mel may not have researched Tavon, but our very own draft gurus clearly have, and have shared their insights on him based on their extensive knowledge of his play, we shouldn't take issue with their research and findings.

Personally I'm tired of hearing how "versatile" Wilson is. Christ, I was freakin' versatile. I played DE, NT, and MLB in college, and OLB and S after. I was damned versatile. One small problem. I wasn't GOOD ENOUGH to play on the next level. So I don't want to hear how "versatile Wilson is. I want to hear how good a football player he is.

Nice read though

Would make as much sense as grasping to the negative opinion of someone who, by his own admission, knows nothing about the kid because he wasn't at the combine.

Personally I'm in the wait and see camp. Maybe we reached, maybe he turns out to be defensive rookie of the year. I don't know enough about him. All I know is those who have worked with him are very positive about him, and BB must value his ability highly to draft him when he did. That's enough for me to hold off and give the kid a chance before I start writing him off.

No, my money is with the draft experts who have never seen him play, they clearly know best.

Ivan

Should be, but I included about a hundred other examples to back it up, that however will never be enough to derail the draft experts who don't actually watch anything but just regurgitate what idiots like Kiper say over and over. we have reached absolute absurdity now with one guru after another proclaiming their own genius and decrying the pick, they know best,. Belichick knows crap and is ruining this franchise with all his sucky drafts, what a bunch of clowns.

Why is Kiper ill-informed and why did you single him out? Is there one scout or media guy out there who had him as high as a 4th round value?

PS. no one here is questioning the guy's versatility.
