I think this draft and the #1 overall pick is much the same.

People buy into who is raited higher by the scouts. Getting all worked up over feeling good about the value they got... Warmack, Lotulelei, Jockel, etc. All those guys won't account for squat in regards to being responsible for wins.

Who will?

QB by a long shot. Then after that in order? Elite pass rushers, shutdown corners.

Take your pick of that lot.
That was an interesting movie. I really like the approach because it was solely based on performance and BPA at a given position.
