I love the draft. I will spend the next two days going over every pick and be wasted (Not drunk or on drugs) by Sunday evening. Then I'll start looking at the UDFA's.
The words that will drive me nuts this weekend is "reach" and "value". This has been brought to us by draft guru's and draftniks parroting them. Just because a player is not on their "boards" at a certain ranking, doesn't mean that teams don't have them ranked differently.
Would Brady or AD been a "reach" if drafted in teh second round instead of the 6th? Would Marcus Colson been a "reach" and not a good "value" last year if he was drafted in the 3rd round instead of the 7th?
I spend a lot of time and some money on the draft every year. Yet, I do understand that I know less than 20% about players than Pioli and his staff should and do know. We are drafting football players to play football, not "values".
Had to get that off my chest- thank you very much.
