Besides the top 5 there is no way any of the players we are talking about is worth a top 10 pick much less the pay they will get.

I do not think I need to post the 2006 draft because it is even worse.
In 2009 we are going to see a draft close to the talent in 2006.

So do not get so excited about this group of players in round one please. the gamble is not worth it. It is only going to lead to heart ache. they will not live up to the contracts they are signing. It is a gamble that may pay off but the odds are against it. I still say fold in round one if you can and get picks for next year in round 1
