Draft

I never really followed football when I was younger because I never had the attention span to watch the game. However, I always loved to watch highlights. However, as I have gotten older, gotten my ADD in check, and moved away from doing to watching, I have begun to follow football very closely. My point is that I understand the games well and all of the stuff that I see and here, but I haven’t followed it long enough to understand everything in terms of how players develop over time and so forth.

Here are some thoughts on the draft. Rounds 1 to 3 a team drafts because the players are good and will help the team. Rounds 4 to 6 are drafted not so much because they will be better than undrafted guys but more because teams have more film or they played in a big conference giving them less of a bust factor due to off-field behavior or injury.

The best example is the undrafted DT ED Johnson and 3^rd Round Quinn Pitcock. Johnson has been described by SI.com as playing like he was “shot out of a cannon.” Pitcock is simply described as a hard worker. One was drafted and the other was not. Granted it does not say that Johnson was arrested he was suspended from school. I would assume that he had engaged in something inappropriate, but nothing illegal. I think that the Colts can work with a guy like that.
