Message: [QUOTE="Libero2, post: 520129, member: 2812"] Not in my opinion. What it means to me, is that 16 players developed their game above what the scouts expected was possible in HS. Sometimes it's them physically developing more after HS, sometimes it's an insane dedication in the weight room after HS, sometimes it's people mis-evaluating a kid. Sometimes a kid is overvalued by NFL scouts. It's the same argument that NFL fans have about first round picks vs. later round picks. Not every first rounder is an all-pro, and their are certainly all-pros found later in the draft, but the fact of the matter is a higher percentage of 1st round picks go on to become all-pros than is the percentage of later round picks. You can strike gold from either pool, but the more shots you take at the pool of more talented prospects (as determined by whatever professional scouting community you wish to consider) the more likely you are to end up with an eventually great player.
