Circle Jerk.  What do you think his position coach is going to say?  "I wanted the LT so the guys we got could get some reps against someone other than Spriggs."

This.

I challenge anyone to find a clip of a coach/GM/scout/etc. who, at the time of a pick or just after, had negative things to say about the pick.  Similar to what BD says above.  No player, coach, GM or anyone directly associated with a pro team is gonna say they don't like a pick or he wasn't the guy they wanted, or they're not thrilled to get so and so.  Probably same for former college teammates and coaches.  It just doesn't happen.

And all you bitchin' about posters not liking the pick, and how those posters don't know anything compared to the professional scouts/coaches/etc., get over yourselves.  This is a message board.  Opinions are shared.  Those same experts who poured hours of their time to research and make the Rashan Gary pick are the same experts who can make sh!tty picks in every draft.

Where there different experts or was less time put in from the people who wanted the Packers to draft Kenny Clark and also Jason Spriggs??

What about HaHa and Davante?  Different amount of time invested in researching those two's talents, right?

The lists can go on an on.  

 

Group A:  guys paid an obscene amount of money to watch football games with the sole purpose of identifying strengths & weaknesses of players.  Provided infinitely  more information about hundreds (thousands?) of players.  Gathers  weekly to daily to discuss said players & try to form a group consensus/ranking.  Personally meets with a subset of players team is interested in knowing more about.  Sh!t-canned from job for making too many mistakes.

Group B:  Internet jockeys that enjoy surfing draft sites & reading Mel Kiper's current draft book.  Often drunk when doing so.  Watches a few football games on a Saturday & a random Thursday/Friday.  Often drunk when doing so.  Happy to provide anonymous opinions on team's draft picks.  Often drunk when doing so.  Gets mad when other Internet jockeys question opinion (or is it drunk opinion?).

Please tell me which group I should put more stock into when I'm forming my own opinion of a draft pick.  Thank you for your advice.
