Quote:The concept of not having hindsight during the draft should not be a difficult subject to grasp. Why are you struggling with it so much?

 

I'm not struggling at all.  You make the wise choice.

 

What do you think all this scouting work is for prior to the draft?

 

To find out where you're going to take your players.  You take them when you've calculated them to be available.  You draft them as low as you can, not as high as you can.  You marry the pick with the value you've placed on the player.  Otherwise, you're foolishly going to waste a first round pick on a guy you would have otherwise been able to get later... in some cases MUCH later.

 

This is like trying to discuss advanced calculus with those who can't pass algebra, though it's not nearly that difficult to grasp.
