Interesting article on NFL Draft from historical perspective

[phunwin]

If this has been posted already, I apologize. However, I think this is a really interesting read about the NFL draft from a historical perspective. I'll let the article speak for itself, but it really makes you think twice about the wisdom of trading down from a top draft spot.

I'm sorry, but any article that lists Nick Barnett and Keith Bullocks next to Marino and Darrell Green is a HUGE crock of sheeoyytt

That article really contradicts itself. They're attempting to debate that the late round picks are so great. But they only list the late-round busts in recent years because "those picks were only around for a few years"

Umm, there were so picks 16-32 in the 70's. They were just in the 2nd Round

Yeah every one knows that Jim Mandich (1970) was the best 29th pick ever!

It is still amazing that Marino lasted to the 27th pick...
