Brett V don't draft old guys in the first round. His rule not mine [Reply]

I'd really need to circle back on Johnston a bit.
I've been dinging Johnston in my head because he's a fringe first rounder to me while so many others had him in the top 10. Meanwhile I've been loving up Rice back when he was considered a possible 3rd rounder and I had him in 2.
So I'd have to take off my 'man, these guys are overrated/underrated' glasses and just view them in a vacuum and truth be told I just haven't done that. If I did, I suspect I'd start to be less hard on Johnston and a little more aware of Rice's faults.
I do think, however, that neither guy should be discussed in the same breath as Dell or Bell. There's a clearly demarcation between between Johnston/Rice and Bell/Dell. [Reply]

Ditto.
Gonna focus the rest of my time on the things all these guys do well, rather than worry about what they don't do well and trying to slot them because of it. [Reply]

Yeah, I need to start looking at them stand alone rather than "Nah, this guy sucks because he isn't a first rounder and Daniel Jeremiah thinks he'll go top 20..."
Thinking he's the 45th best prospect instead of the 17th best prospect doesn't mean I think he sucks. And if I ultimately would have the guys at 45/46 instead of the talking heads having them at 17/60 respectively, I'm gonna be way harder on the former guy than the latter and I really shouldn't be.
So I'll make a commitment to cleansing my palette here...but I'm not gonna actually do it. Ain't anybody got time for that - I'm not getting paid for it. [Reply]
