Draft Grades and Projections Be Damned!!!
I went back and looked at the last 5 drafts. Take a look at which group has better professional players right now. Those drafting 1-5 or those drafting 11-15? This tells me the term "reach" really should never be used.
2005 1 San Francisco 49ers Alex Smith Quarterback Utah 2 Miami Dolphins Ronnie Brown Running back Auburn 3 Cleveland Browns Braylon Edwards Wide Receiver Michigan 4 Chicago Bears Cedric Benson Running back Texas 5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Carnell Williams Running back Auburn 11 Dallas Cowboys DeMarcus Ware Linebacker Troy 12 San Diego Chargers (from New York Giants) Shawne "roidman" Merriman Linebacker Maryland 13 New Orleans Saints (from Houston) Jammal Brown Offensive Tackle Oklahoma 14 Carolina Panthers Thomas Davis Linebacker Georgia 15 Kansas City Chiefs Derrick Johnson Linebacker Texas 2006 1 Houston Texans Mario Williams Defensive End North Carolina State [3] 2 New Orleans Saints Reggie Bush [4] Running back USC 3 Tennessee Titans Vince Young Quarterback Texas [5] 4 New York Jets D'Brickashaw Ferguson Offensive Tackle Virginia 5 Green Bay Packers A. J.

Why any research? The only pick each team should take is Eric Berry. Every team will select him in the first round and then he will give a rose to his favorite team and they will win seventy bazzion Super Bowls.
Much like the godman of last year Aaron Curry there can only be one.

I wouldn't mind Berry, but if we took someone like Graham or Williams at pick #5 when they might be projected #15-#20 range doesn't mean jack and I would love it.

I don't mind Berry either but I'm sick of people saying he's the only player in the draft. Go get me a Hall of Famer at any position. Just have them turn into a major play maker at their posistion. I don't care if its a center or a LB or anything else. There is no telling how anyone you pick will turn out for sure.

i agree generally, in the sense that only a QB is worth the money of a top 5 pick anymore...
positionally you're getting screwed just because of the out of whack $$$$

True, but I'm not even talking about the money. I'm just talking about the quality of the player in general.

You aren't going to be popular with this!
But, it is about getting a player that can most help your team win the game of football, not winning the game of "beating the draft". As long as a player contributes, I'm happy with damn near any pick.

I kind of figured such, but nobody really disagreed.
