I laughed at the Leatherwood pick because, having watched him, i thought he struggled with his feet in pass protection at OT.
I'm not laughing at the Strange pick because there were no obvious deficiencies watching him - which is all i can pick up:
and that it was Belichick.
The only consensus that matters is the collective consensus of the GMs, with the millions of dollars scouting budgets at their disposal.
They spend a lot of time, energy and expense in trying to figure how that consensus lines up.
So, to say that one knows absolutely who should be available in such and such a round is sheer nuts.
In addition, a big problem with the 'consensus' argument is that a Daniel Jeremiah and some noodle head at PFF are given equal weight.
One has already posted the stats concerning 'reaches' being most likely to earn 2nd contracts with the team that selected them;
that should pretty much obliterate anyone's confidence in the validity of the 'consensus' argument as to when a player should be selected.
Given how the 3rd and early 4rth round went, with the run on safeties and corners, in all likelihood, Woods would have been gone by the Charger's 4rth round pick,
The discussion about drafting to fit various NFL schemes, having already been discussed, I have nothing more to say on this argument.
