My favorite teams
Yes, I feel lucky if my 5th rounder becomes an every down Pro Bowl type player. Doesn't make the pick any less educated or not a good choice. I never said that and you're changing the context again. You argued my point by claiming teams would wait a few rounds to take a desired player they had rated those few rounds higher because they felt smarter than the rest of the league, clearly implying that a GM would risk losing a player they expect to be great to draft guys they hoped would fill the roster because of some imaginary 'consensus' of draft position. Thinking your 1st round grade is every other team's 4th or 5th round grade is the sort of hubris that gets GMs fired. Good GMs have successful picks everywhere in a draft but they take their players in the order of rating vs need vs positional value. Not playing craps.
Of course there are expectations of where guys go when you setup your board but that's your board, not someone else's. Like I said, you don't always draft your highest rated player due to need and position but not for that.
Frankly, it's getting to where there's isn't much point to your position which you happened to start by calling mine 'idiotic'. I'd expect some real, hard hitting, obvious shit to backup that sort of critique instead of now tilting correctness for arguments sake.
