don't feel too bad about drafting A-pot mid80s late in the draft

[tomriddle]

so you just finished your draft and found one of your 6th or 7th round picks being some crazy gem of a pick, mid 80s A-potential player

How bad did NFL scouts miss the boat on rookie wide receiver Stephen Williams?

So bad that, according to former Cardinals linebacker/defensive end Bertrand Berry, every NFL team should have to forfeit a draft pick next year because of their stupidity.

"It's insane. It's an absolute crime," Berry said this week during a radio interview on KDUS-AM (1060).

just sayin if it's in the game, it's in the game

Um, he had a couple of good preseason games...I'd hardly say that's enough info to annoint him as a future superstar. And Bertrand Berry isn't an NFL scout. He's a washed up scrub.

no you misunderstood my point entirely I simply meant even rl teams feel good about "late round steals"

or what they feel, are late round gems/diamonds

[Gordy748]

Brady, Hasselbeck and Houshmanzadeh were all later-round picks......

Yeah, I'm not sure I get the point of this. Why would anybody feel bad about lucking out with a late round pick unless they'd 'cheated'? And if they had 'cheated', they did it intentionally and aren't gonna feel bad about it.

It isn't the mid-80s picks... it is the broken scouting that needs to be fixed.

some people think badly/dislike when their 6th round pick is higher/better than their 1st round pick

Just want to point out John Randle (HOF), Tom Brady, Pat Williams, Jeff Saturday, Donald Driver, Wes Welker, Tony Romo, Priest Holmes, Antonio Gates, Rod Smith, Kurt Warner, Warren Moon, etc, etc.

Craziness to feel bad about late round/undrafted players being good.
