This draft is fools gold !

I dont get the Trent Richardson love. Never have. Wasn't even the best RB on his own team.

He's like the current version of Ricky Williams.

 

i usually agree with what you have to say but that statement is bizarre....any reasoning behind your statement....we've been over this before richardson is better than ingram was and is the best all around back since ap came out...

 

Ricky Williams finished with over 10,000 yards and 26th all time even with throwing away a full year during the peak of his career. I will wait while you fashion your latest "double down on stupid" comment.

 

I have no idea what cutter said, but...

...this made me

 

This strikes me as a textbook case of someone reading a few mock drafts and then thinking he's a draft expert. Unless you are a pro-level scout, there is no way to really judge the relative value of a draft class. Heck, even the true experts end up being wrong most of the time when they start making comments about it being a "weak" or "strong" class. All that we have to judge these players in right now is hype and the opinions of a few guys sitting in their basements and crafting mock drafts.

 

While some of this might be true... It's pretty easy to go find some game film and start paying attention to the details and make a decision..... The DT class is deep, not just because of "hype" .. I mean guys who could be in the first round in some drafts and in this one will be in the second. You don't have to pay attention to what the "experts say" to make an opinion.

 

Go back some years and look how many Pro Bowlers each draft has generated.

2000 - 31 Pro Bowlers
2001 - 37 Pro Bowlers
2002 - 25 Pro Bowlers
2003 - 34 Pro Bowlers
2004 - 31 Pro Bowlers
2005 - 35 Pro Bowlers
2006 - 37 Pro Bowlers
2007 - 27 Pro Bowlers

2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 drafts are still too early to really judge, so we can look back at those drafts in a year or two.

Real question is, does anyone believe the 2012 draft will generate 32 or so Pro Bowlers?
Not every player is fortunate enough to be that good so early, usually takes guys 3 or more years to find themselves and play to their potential.

 

No way to predict how many Pro Bowlers will come out of a class. Some classes that look weak end up being strong and vice versa. Lots of players end up as totally different guys a few years into their pro careers. It's a complete crapshoot.

 

I agree with the fact that just looking at it, this draft seems weaker than last years. Especially on the defensive line. However, this might be one of the strongest classes in years at the WR position. There will be first round talents that fall to the 2nd because this class is so strong. Alshon Jeffrey (whose speed has been questioned), Nick Toon, and Ryan Broyles will all probably slip to round two at least.
