[QUOTE="Croak, post: 661116, member: 2367"] What I took from the article was the idea that the draft is dealing with human beings. He even stated in the article that the staffs and statistics were helpful. But when push comes to shove, they are drafting humans, not automatons. So there is a huge space for error and speculation. Not everything about a human is quantifiable, which leaves a lot of variables slide into the mix. In the end, they make the best educated guess they can as to how a player will perform, but historically the players have often proved them wrong. This helps me understand why when we fans were sure someone was going to be a star they ended up a flop, or vice versa. The human factor is huge. [/QUOTE]
