One of the ESPN panel made an interesting statement."Many
times there are far better players in the second round of the draft.
Teams now are so afraid of making a mistake in the first round that
they draft down in favor of better character player than a better FB
player."
Some very intelligent coaches like Belicheck and Jimmy Johnson
did exactly that,trade down the first round and get two or more
2nd-5th round draft choices.Not only did they get more players but
spread the risk of a failed draft choice around.
