That's really funny. After the first round, I thought there was only one team worthy of an "F". I mean, the bottom line is we don't really know how these players will turn out... they are still young and none of them have played in the NFL with all the pressures and the speed of the game. So why does Minnesota get an "F"? They made their pick about one minute into their allotted time slot. What on earth could you be thinking? You are so arrogant with your below average team that you don't even want to listen to other offers? How did they know that, within the next nine minutes, a team wouldn't call them and offer them a really sweet deal? You spend months and months evaluating value and these investments are for millions of dollars. Minnesota stood out to me as the only team arrogant enough to think they had stolen a player, with the impatience of knowing they had won with this guy, and not even entertained late, desperate offers. In contrast, the Patriots rand the clock down every time to leverage great value in next year's draft and got two extra second rounders without giving up a second in return.
As far as Harvin, Pro Football Talk reported yesterday that he had "worn out his welcome" in Florida. How many times does a National Champion football team look back and say "I hope this guy isn't with us next year" when referring to a star receiver? My guess is Harvin is one of the biggest prima donnas in the draft, and I was glad the Vikings chose him, as the Pats had most of the guys I wanted available (although they passed.) I didn't want to see Chad Jackson II on this roster. Meanwhile, Bill Parcells told Darius Butler he would draft him in round one. The draft is full of ruses, broken promises, and changes of philosophy based on more information, contract value (Stafford's deal inflated everyone's salary), etc. Childress is obviously a chump for drafting a guy without fielding other offers, and a bigger chump for trying to thump his chest at a guy who is re-writing the book on how to play the draft.
