Want to see something even funnier? The 1990 draft. Some real cheese on that plate, esp Jeff George at #1 and Keith McCants at #4.
And so you ask, how could Emmitt freaking Smith slide that far down the list? Easy. Scouts often put too much in measurables. Smith was seen as too small, too slow to go higher.
McCants was an example of a guy with all the physical tools. I don't think he made it to his fifth year. Too small to play the edge, not fast enough at OLB, dumb as a box of rocks. A Ray Perkins pet project out of Alabama.
