The NFL Draft is dumb...

Reason #700-#704 why the NFL Draft is absurd.

#700 No one knows how successful players will be, but act is if this is a video game strategy guide listing players' abilities. So, draft post draft grades and etc. are ridiculous.

#701 It's all misinformation. Teams have no reason or benefit to be honest and forthcoming.

#702 It's something that has been blown out of proportion for television purposes.

#703 It's lazy, speculative, consensus-building, nonsensical-babble where hindsight is 20-20 and the result is played too often.

#704 Media members comparing their draft boards to scout's and GM's boards.

SPortynation, I leave you with this. It is easy to criticize what someone else does whether or not it is music, investments, paintings, sculptures, and/or draft boards. But, when it is you, your sole decision and opportunity what would you do? Would your decision be better or just as good. What would your draft board look like sans outside influence. We are anchoring and adjusting to opinions. For example, Mel Kiper, a merely ok football analyst that is as mainstream as they come that reaches the masses because of his lazy declarations, easy stances, and monosyllabic tendencies states his point of view and then "we" as an audience adjust to what he says and base our opinions off of dribble.

Keep thinking. This is my Minority Report.
