Does anyone realize this chart was invented with a hint of voodoo?

It appeared on the seen in a puff a smoke one year out of Dallas. Teams then started to use it one at a time. Hey if it help Dallas build their team in the teams of the 70s and 80's then it must work. Remember this is a copy cat sport in the front office. One team wins, the rest follow. Kinda of a pied piper mentality. This chart was never formally adopted. It was kidnapped and never returned home. So it may take some time if or when changes happen but like its mother, it will have to be taken in by one team at time before it becomes officially the new chart of the NFL draft.

The new chart does make since this year draft is all most completely void of elite talent after the top 3 are gone. Now think back to when Reggie was on the board, followed by the players of his draft. Would this change make sense? Not really. That was a draft class that was 10 to 15 players deep of great round 1 talent. To trade down from the top 10 or 15, much less the top 5 in that draft was a mistake. The same thing can be said about last years draft. Just admit it.

This Group of first rounds is awful.

There is a lot of risk in these players and the salaries they will be getting, from 5 on. The odds are not that great to find an all pro type of player. There are a few that will surprise us but right now with the cards that this draft has dealt there is no reason to raise the stakes. Yet no one on the table has cards to raise with either. So every one is passing. Knock after knock can be heard on the table as the bets go around the table. Two pair could win this pot or maybe a good bluff will take it.

Now round two through 4 is very strong. Thats where the money will be made.
