I need some things explained to me...

3) Dominique Rogers Cromartie is the second coming of Deion Sanders.

Statement #1 and #2 I'm a little more opinionated on. Statement #3 I feel I can be more easily swayed. My thing is this. Most of the mock drafts I've seen have this guy going in the late first/early second round. Why are so many on this board so eager to draft him 10th - 10-15 spots higher than most projections? And why do so many like him so much more than the other defensive prospects out there? With the amount of support he gets on this board, it almost seems like members of his family joined up just to post on his behalf.

So that's it. Those are the opinions I've been struggling with in the past couple of weeks on this board. Anyone care to defend these statements or oppose them? I'm open to both sides.

I really don't think its a case of "projections", and where players are "projected to go"... if YOUR player is available when its your pick then you take him. I don't think any team's FO really cares what McShay, or Kiper has to say about players because teams pay a ton of money for scouts, and the entire scouting department that they employ. Especially this staff... they take who they want regardless of what the player's projected slot is.

Case in point... who even knew that the Saints would take Roman Harper in round 2? He was "projected" somewhere in the 4th or 5th... same is the case with Jahri Evans... you can't go by what the "experts" say... if your player is on the board then you take him.

I'm not speaking for everybody.. its just my opinion.
