Are Loomis /Payton as good as their draft reputation?

Tom Brady drafted in sixth round
Jamarcus Russell first round fail
Dan Marino 6th QB drafted

Drafts do not amount to squat.

So you don't think some teams are better than others at drafting players?

Do you think the draft matters at all?

If all 6 of our draft picks fail to even make the team next year, does that amount to anything? If that happens 6 years in a row does it matter?

I'm of the opinion that drafts do matter.

IMO it's like gambling in Vegas. Sure, they guy who completely understands black jack is better equipped to NOT lose all his money, but it's still a crap shoot you know?

So are you saying draft success year in and year out is irrelevant because its a crap shoot?

Are you kidding me?

Nobody hits on all their pics year in and year out. Nobody. The best guys often fail, and the nobody's succeed enough - even the non-drafted ones - to make my case. It's a crap shoot.
