Draft is over rated

Each year, 32 teams take 7 picks. That's 224 guys, plus numerous undrafted FA's. Every year, each team is hoping these new "rookies" can fill their holes and needs. Each year, most are cut before the season starts, some hang on to practice squads and a very minute minority actually step in and contribute to the team's success.
So why is it that the NFL draft is pumped up? Commercialism?
Anyway, there is a load of talent out there, that have gone to training camp, learned some of an NFL offense and have been released or still stuck on practice squads, waiting for the new crop of rookies to take their place.\
My point is, don't waste all of your time on the new rookies, when there are hundreds of players already in the NFL to help your team. Experience sometimes is worth more than potential.
