Nfl draft experts drive me crazy!

Ok , I love sports so I am going to begin with my thoughts on the NFL draft. It just drives me crazy when all these so called football experts. Every time a player is picked “O this was such a great pick for so and so”  Well this player has yet to play one single down in the NFL so how can you evaluate how good or bad the draft pick is? How many players have been a bust in the first round and then you find players like Tom Brady in the sixth round.

Just take a look at the players from the 2007 draft. How many of these players have lived up to their draft status in their first year. Some of them will turn out to be great players but in order to evaluate a teams draft it can’t be done on the first day of the draft.
