Quote:You know what else never fails? There are fallers who have much better careers than risers. How many people would have guessed Tom Brady was a sixth round compensatory pick?


Every year I question draft prospect evaluations because many high picks suck and many low picks are stars. How can teams do tons of research on a player, but have no idea what his ceiling is?

Because this isn't fantasy. This is real world evaluation of human beings.


You're going to miss more often than you hit. There is so much that goes into the equation. From the players athletic ability, mental/personality makeup, intelligence, how they will fit into your offense/defense, and much more. There is no exact science to any of it. It's an educated gamble at best.
