I agree. Nobody has a crystal ball but there are traits an athlete has to give an idea of the type of person they are or will be on the field. A head scratcher for me is if an athlete has a history of getting hurt constantly then regardless of his/her talent the risk outweighs the reward in my mind. What good is the talent if it’s always on the sidelines.To me, it doesn't matter where you're drafted. Once you get into the facility, as a rookie, you have a choice, become a pro and be productive or become a statistic of another guy that didn't pan out. Take a look at how many 1st and 2nd round picks just don't pan out. It's usually about maturity and being willing to do what it takes to be a pro. Some guys are willing to make the sacrifices and some aren't. So the scouts can measure and time and do whatever else they want to do, but in the end it's about having dedication to be the best you can be. So guys are willing to do the work and some aren't...and then there are those that are not physically able...IE injured or unable to put on the uni for health reasons.
