I need some things explained to me...

There is no science to the draft,... I don't care what people try to convince you. I haven't seen one formula work to any level of success. Success in one will inevitably means falure in the next. If not, go to th casino with that stat!

The draft is full of guys who were supposed to be the "second coming" and they end of being gone in 5 years. Conversely, teams that "reach" for players end up getting a gold mine.

All that being said,... Just because "Mel Kiper" said a player is an early 2nd rounder doesn't mean more than one team will wait until the 2nd round to pick him up. If you trade down when there is a player you want still on the board, you are essentially gambling he will still be there when you pick.

In years past, when I watched a lot of college football,.. I had my favorites and I didn't care what the "Mel Kipers" had to say about it. Sometimes, they were right, sometimes, I was right. Its a real crap shoot!
