Quote:Thats assuming scouts are always right. Scouts arent always right. Thats why players like Ryan Leaf get drafted in the top 5. Thats why guys like Aaron Curry, who turned out to be a lousy NFL player, can be widely assumed the ultimate lock safe top 5 pick of all time.


A bust isnt always a reach. And a reach doesnt always turn out to be a bust.

That isn't assuming scouts are always right. I guess it depends who you are going by for your information as to rankings. The media is getting both honest and dishonest information. They use this to compile their rankings from what the scouts are saying. And again, teams are sending so many smoke screens we really have no idea which information is true or false. Therefore it is literally impossible for us to know if someone was a reach or not from the information we are getting since the info can't necessarily be trusted. The only fool proof way is to judge after the fact. And after the fact Blaine was one of the biggest reaches in franchise history since we not only spent a 10th round pick on him, we also gave up a 2nd to get him.
