Mistakes at top of NFL draft
By Andy Benoit
Football Outsiders

By all accounts, Eric Fisher is going to be a fine NFL player. Maybe even a great one. Scouts agree that...

guess Melo can no longer be a scapegoat in Denver...his teams were never upset in the playoffs..

I think some are over reacting a bit with this draft. I don't know every single prospect and I'm not going to pretend to know, but from what I understand from reading up on these players and draft...

1) The Bills were a more complete team when drafting Brown that high...just coming off of 4 straight Superbowl appearances

2) Ruben Brown was All Pro but that did nothing to change the fortunes of...

The Dolphins regretted taking Jake Long over Matt Ryan...and Long is an LT. Two players with Long having the slightly better grade but the lesser positional value. Parcells was always against...

I understand your post and I agree about no QB being worth a top 10 pick this yr..although I do think Geno and Barkley would beat out Kolb. My point was that you're ignoring the positional value of...

As far as Austin goes, he's the ultimate weapon IMO...the Eagles offense is so explosive cause of the speed and explosiveness of Maclin, McCoy, Jackson, none of which or the biggest guys.

My...

I don't like the idea of drafting an o-lineman with such a high pick when there is so much need elsewhere, much less a guard and great football minds such as Bill Polian would agree...QB/WR are by...

Nassib at 8 would be a disaster...hopefully they just go BPA with need considered...with what most of the mocks are predicting, if the Bills take BPA with need considered, Austin will be the...

Rose..yes, Rondo not so much...after a couple yrs of saying Pierce/Garnett are getting too old, this yr they finally showed that and Terry/Lee couldn't give them the same production Allen did in the...

I will say though...I think the Clippers beat the Thunder in round 2..so I don't think the Thunder are making it either...so I think Spurs Heat

very few think that and out of those few even fewer truly believe it....the others are just riding out for their team

I think the Clippers will beat the Thunder...

not too crazy about the Warmack pick...but getting Woods, Moore and Goodwin, especially Moore and Goodwin in those rounds was great...i give it a B+ as well

People need to stop seeing the Celtics for what they were and see them for what they are...a .500 team

I think the Bulls are just overrated...look at last year's postseason without Rose, it's the same thing this yr...play well in the regular season without Rose, can't win in the playoffs without him

typical bills...way too conservative...

Completely agree...Jones/Ogletree/Patterson/Hunter and maybe even Geno with the way free agency has played out can be had in the mid first round and there would be no need to reach for any and 2 of...

LeBron is def MVP...Melo may take 2nd from Durant the way he's going now....just get sick of the constant only been out of the first round once argument while not taking into account the...

Minnesota the yr KG finally got out of the first round and went to the WCF
SA (won the title)
LAC, who was the higher seed
SA (won the title)
LAL (finals runner up)
LAL in the WCF (won the...

You completely ignored his point...no one is saying Melo is better than LeBron or even close so that comparison doesn't make sense.

The point was look who his teams lost to in the playoffs and the...

I think that Pierce became better later in his career...his playoff success was later in his career as well, he wasn't known as a great defensive player prior to doc and kg...as far as his shooting...

Wilkins didn't even make the original list and since Pierce made this list, it makes me wonder the thinking behind it

I can just imagine what this is going to start..but, where does Melo fit in comparison to Pierce and/or Dominique Wilkins?

I was just reading this list that was created and noticed that both...
