Game day decisions are made in seconds under conditions of confusion and sometimes incomplete information. Under those conditions coaches are going to make mistakes. Fans and jouralists will recognize those mistakes and call the coaches out. And in many cases they'll be correct in their criticism. No problem there.
In contrast to a game, the draft is an educated guess. No one will even know who won or lost for a of couple years.Because of the uncertainties, a good scouting group could have a bad draft. Yet we invest credibility to the pundits in their ability to boil down a team's performance to an A, B+ or C-. The drafts are re-evaluated 2 or 3 years out. But no one ever evaluates the pundits. It's just a joke.
