Teams don't know. Experts don't know. Nobody knows.
It's a crapshoot. A fairly educated and well-researched crapshoot. But nobody has the answer.

Exactly, which is why I hate when people just say we'll draft so and so to fix our problem.
We have a pretty good track record with mid to late Olinemen, but there are guys people forget about like Tennant.
So saying let's draft a center and call it a day doesn't sit well with me.

I remember in 2006 when the Saints made a trade with Philly and took Jahri Evans (I believe in the fourth round).
I can remember a lot of people losing their minds because they took some dope from school they never heard of because Max Jean-Gilles was on the board.
There were two reason why people did this:
1. Some guy I saw at Georgia is better than some nobody from Bloomsburg.
2. Jean-Gilles was high on Mel's list, and Evans was not.
And then it becomes an echo chamber from there and everybody shows how uninformed they really are.

To add to that, teams spend millions of $$$$$ getting ready for the draft. They have an entire staff dedicated to scouting players, looking at tape after tape, talking to the college coaches, and have their positions coaches evaluating the players and they still don't get it right all of the time. Too many variables to put into a fool proof formula.
It is now and will always be a crap shoot (that's why there's a rookie scale now in place...minimize the damage for bad decisions).

Yeah, but teams DO know more than the... ughem.... "Experts." These talking heads do not have the depth of knowledge and research that the teams have, and quite often they get caught up in their own hype. The only guy I enjoy listening to regarding the draft is Mayok. That is it.
