The NFL draft is about educated guesses. No one really knows what is going to happen in a player’s career. You can look at the numbers, the film or all the mock drafts you want until draft day, but we’re still talking about humans, error and all.
One of the banner moments for the “no one knows” movement is the Green Bay Packers’ selection of quarterback Brian Brohm in the second round of the 2008 draft. With Brett Favre announcing his retirement the month before the draft, all eyes were cast on some quarterback named Aaron Rodgers, a fourth-year player who had thrown 59 passes for 329 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
