You're really getting exasperated and lost sight of the fact that you're the one who made the statement so the onus is on you to prove it.

Look, I haven't made any declarations, I've offered my opinions.

Even at the 2014 draft, we'll be looking first at where the player is now in comparison to his peers. If he isn't any good, we won't be looking at him. This is where Jankowski becomes a gamble, he couldn't be compared to his peers. After that we'll look at potential which gets into trying to forecast the future. We can make educated guesses but in my mind that's getting into god's territory or if you're a gambler maybe try the racetrack.
