I'm pretty sure I would take Mike Mayock over Matt Millen any day of the week. Heck, I'd consider a monkey throwing its own poop at names on a draft board over Matt Millen.Also if we were to take the 32nd least prepared FO in terms of draft scouting and compare it to the best TV analyst's draft scouting we would find even the worst team has done considerably more in terms of homework for the draft than the "experts" that call picks "a steal" or "a reach".
Well the contracts get lower as the picks do so that kind of matters.
If you could choose between
A: Selecting Mayo @ #10 for more money
B: Selecting Mayo @ #14 for less money
You always choose B of course.
That wasn't an option for us seeing as no team with a lower pick than the Saints wanted to swap with us at a price BB and SP would accept so it doesn't matter anyways and all is fine.
Deciding who to admit isn't as simple as comparing apples and oranges. What you're basically doing is comparing apples and oranges, and then trying to decide which one, when fed to a cow, will produce the tastier steak a few years down the road.
if you think he won't be there when you pick next.
Good post Maverick ... I don't want to steal your idea here.
So may I suggest you make a thread:
Patriots Draft Reach Success and Failures ...
Deion Branch was considered a reach ... success.
Dan Graham was considered a reach ... success.
Logan Mankins was considered a reach ... success.
Chad Jackson was considered a reach ... so far failure, could change.
Chad Jackson was the highest wide receiver rated in the 2006 NFL Draft.Actually, I believe that many felt Chad Jackson slipped to where the Patriots got him. He wasn't a reach.
That is the key point. Doesn't matter if other 3rd party people think you took someone 5, 10, even 30 picks too early, as long as you project that your highest rated fit won't be around the next pick.
Also, to F.B.N: No problem, I don't care at all if you go and make that thread about historical reaches by the Pats who turned out great.

The point, value is relative.
