Thats why i do.

I usually give myself a minute or 2 to be upset; curse a few times and blow off some steam....

But then i let my better judgement prevail and decide that if the professionals felt that was the better pick then ill trust it until proven otherwise. The reality is even with all the info in the world and the best personnel evaluators on your team -- the draft is still largely a crap shot, a lottery of sorts. You get a few tickets, earlier ones have bigger jackpots and much higher percentage of at least winning some money.... but they all still bust at a more than 50% ratio.
 

Id rather get on board, be optimistic and root for our pick to succeed than hold on to some silly notion that im better at picking prospects than our team... or some grudge just in the hopes that in 3 years our pick will fail, the team will be worse just so i can say "I told ya so"

though it seems theres quite a few around here who prefer to do the latter

No matter how bad I might hate a pick I'll always take the good and run with it. Didn't like that we took Mosley over HHCD but I had been a huge Mosley fan since his first year and knew how good he was. I didn't like taking perriman over jones and Malcom brown but I looked at the spectacular catches he's made and tried my hardest to disregard the drops and now I'm a huge perriman fan. Wasn't big on the correa pick but I also began to think as the draft got closer that spence was overrated and it's possible he's already maxed his potential and correa hasn't even begun to see his. 

If we take cam Robinson over Corey Davis or some others, I'll be pissed, but I'll understand how much of a boost he can bring out run game if he's allowed to play guard.

ill say ill be guilty of it if the pick is taco charlton - i of course will eventually be able to turn myself onto it but it might take longer than usual in some cases - it of course all depends on who's left on the board when we pick

I actually would be on board. Not rooting for taco at 16, but if he's the pick I'm on board. I can see his potential pretty easily, guys that big shouldn't have such a quick first step and closing speed

bold prediction: we're taking Forrest Lamp at 16 - yes I'm only saying that because I want $10,000 and I thought Lamp was realistic and wouldn't have a lot of votes.

wait, $10,000? whats this?

Go to main page,  scroll over "flock" then choose contests or whatever it is. Pick the pick for $10k. I swear if you choose Lamp you won't make it through the night...not a threat, not that warning mean anything at this point anyway...

 A member on the forum who's extremely critical of your players and has crazy ideas.

rumours are he's already been stolen by the producers of anchorman 3 to play the love interest for steve carell

Bold prediction. 

No matter who we take Sami hates the pick and calls for Ozzies head. Even if it's a prospect he's been talking up.

The next DROY will be a day 2 CB.

After numerous balanced drafts, Ravens will draft a record low 2 offensive players.

I´m adding to this: Hooker will fall out of the top 10.
The former Ohio State SS is the only player in the top 16 since Kevin White (#7) with only one year as a full time starter.
The closest guys are Eli Apple (15 and 13 games in his last 2 years) and Arik Armstead (9, 11).
It might mean absolutely nothing but I throw it in there. 

 

Half of my last year´s predictions were correct.. expect at least one of these to keep the trend going

I forgot to mention that I didn't consider the QBs.. That's because unlike every other positions teams will reach on them regardless if they played 1 or 3 years as long as they're willing to committ.

My bold prediction.  ozzie won't make one trade and won't draft a wr

Oh boy I did something really Dumbphy.. I wrote down only 2015-2016 choices while doing the research. I want to hide under a mountain of bird droppings.

But hey! Don't you guys have anything better to do than spoiling my one day glory? let me get away with this one
