The problem is the media. You got all these "experts", draft aficionados & gurus ready to pounce on any perceived mistake & hyping any pick they think will make a good story. And owners & GM's wanting to win the front page. They don't just compete on the field. They want to pump out their chest @ the next owner's meeting. Look w/pride at the A+ Mel Kiper gives him on ESPN.

There are no winners after the draft. The winners are decided 4-5 years later. That's why I don't care about dropping down, maneuvering here & there , picking someone too early or too late.

The object is to find a player you can put to use for seasons to come w/every selection you have.

That's it. If you need a QB & you think Simpson is the next John Elway, you pick him. I don't care where in the draft you are. You don't take the risk somebody else hasn't clued in on what you figured out.

Again, my problem is the Rams aren't going to use him until Stafford retires. They took a pass on finding a player that could help them make a Super Bowl run, now.
