    I've been following drafts closely for maybe the last four years. My pet peeve is that each class is graded on a curve. For instance, the rating guys tend to say so and so is the best or worst TE in the draft. So what does that mean if all the TE's in the draft suck? Why can't they rate guys compared to who's already in the NFL? Maybe on a scale of Practice Squad guy to Pro Bowl guy. Or Won't Make the Final Cut guy to Hall of Famer guy.

    If some rating service out there already does something like this, I'd like to know.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

      I think NFL teams do that, but we never see those boards.

        Robert Ayers seems to be zooming up a lot of people's draft boards.
        Mayock thinks he's the best player in the draft forecasting 3 years out I've heard.

        Hmmm...so does his proctologist put his hands in the Ayer???
