We are now assuming NFL development based off of Collegiate career?

No, that would be silly. But it's data that needs to be weighed on heavily just as all the other off season interviews and work outs that prospect go through. How else would you analyze draft picks? Pick a random name out a hat?

I was siding with you. Silly...

However, and this is just my opinion. There is a ton of over analyzation, along with a ton of exception to the rule examples. Drafting is more of an art than a science.

If you gave me a charcoal briquet, sulfur, and salt peter, I can make gun powder.

If you give me a brush, paint, a canvas, and the Mona lisa.. I could not produce anything relatively close to that work of art.

There is no reproducible formula for the draft, if there was there would be 32 teams doing the same thing and all doing it well.

I realize the truth is not as much fun...

I think it would be really interesting to give the same amount of information to someone who has absolutely zero interest in football and ask them to pick a draft board and then analyze a few years later how their picks have come on, developed, busted or whatnot.

I really do sometimes think you might as well throw darts at a board full of names.

Everyone is great at picking a bust after having watched them for 2 years at the pro level!
