    I know they're guessing. I'm not so sure a lot them believe they are guessing.

    Well, you were told I was guessing. But you had your agenda.

    I mean, Armchair's last post pretty much shot down what I was saying, So OBVIOUSLY I was guessing.

    Just don't quite see where that become a wrong thing to do on here. Since, you know, everybody fucking does it.

    I don't think "guessing" is exactly right. A lot of people here read a lot about the draft. They watch a lot of college football. Many covered it for a living. I could always guess to a pretty good degree of accuracy where the guys I covered would go - and where they should go, too.

    We're all "guessing" you don't know what the hell you're talking about.

    Oh, somebody got butthurt earlier.

    Understand this: I was with you when you were right. When you started being an asshole, that changed. I know that was tough to grasp. But get over it.

    I doubt you could based solely on sight and without reading the opinions of others over time, which shaped your opinion.

    And the "guessing" I'm discussing is how these players will turn out, not where they will be picked.

    Ten years from now if Sam is a star the revisionist history will proclaim, "Well, of course. He was SEC Defensive POY, after all." If he doesn't make it, it'll be, "Well, of course. He was lucky to be picked at all after that horrible combine."

    That's the ultimate truth.

    Feels like Fisher has always been good at finding the right limited situation for those tweener/pass-rush guys. It's a pretty good opportunity.

    It's also one of the two NFL cities (KC being the other) that has been through the whole Sam story already and it really is old news. The national outlets will want their piece, but locally it's a footnote.
