Now, does anyone ever expect to EVER hear a coach or personnel guy say:
"Well, we really did not like this kid, but, all the decent players were already picked, so we took this bum. He really has no shot at playing in the NFL, but, we had to pick someone"
They have to pump up their picks to some extent.
If they didn't, their fans would lose all faith in them.
They may say one thing, but, a lot of times, it is what they do NOT say, that is more telling.
Why else do you think that on the team's home sites, that they will always list the draftee's college highlights and strengths, but never will they mention his weaknesses?
There are some things that are just not for public consumption.
If we learned one thing from JJ, it was not to beleive everything you hear from coaches.
They have a certain agenda, or message that they want to send by their comments.
