I might be wrong, usually am, but I think any athlete with pride wants to be a success and to accept money and be a failure is the last thing on his mind when he signed that first contract.

You'll be flattered to know Ted I actually agree with you. I think a lot of the success the Cowboys had with draft picks in the past had a lot to do with Gil Brandt and the methods he used. But it is as you said a carp shoot as to how they actually perform over the years. Players like Larry Allen, Rayfield Wright and Jason Witten are examples of players who weren't 1st rounder's but had long all pro careers. The combine doesn't always prove anything either. Murray will no doubt enter the draft, ego if nothing else will determine that. The idea of him going in the 1st round and starting as a rookie makes no sense to me when there are much better options in the draft at QB. Why would you take a 5'-7 QB when there is a 6'-3 Haskins with the same skills. I would take Will Grier ahead of Murray. I'm not involved in the draft in any form and all I have is an opinion which is actually meaningless but is just as good as anyone else's. Good job with your research, who woulda thought Bradford's career would end up like it did. Another Heisman bust.

Unfortunately the top college QB always goes to the worst team. Bradford was a great college QB but we'll never know how great he would have been in the NFL. Shame too.

I believe this is the longest thread I've ever started. This is a big milestone in my TFF life, thank u good people!

You mean it's over. CARP
