Message: [QUOTE="suloyalfan, post: 930791, member: 397"] Exactly... there are hundreds of 1st round draft busts...Ryan Leaf or Payton Manning? I think the Colts got it right... Vince Young or Mario Williams? I think the Texans got it right... You know who was drafted 1st above Donovan McNabb in 1999? Tim Couch. How many years do you think Cleveland kicked themselves for that (answer: They still are.)? Evaluating talent, even at the elite level (NFL) is difficult because there are so many factors outside of the evaluator's control... this is the entire reason for the NFL Combine. They want to compare all of these guys side by side to limit the chances of a mistake based on just watching film, looking at stats, or going by reputation. [/QUOTE]
