People calling out those who thought they were fortune tellers purely based on the size of a guy they had never heard of or seen before.
It's a caution to everyone. Unless you actively follow the specific teams these kids play on, no one knows these players better than the scouts that have been tracking them. And the annual freakouts that happen when picks are made that are "off the board" or if a poster had a different player in mind, are asinine.
But I guess if everyone just watched who we drafted and took a wait and see approach (as they should) before shooting their mouths off, this place wouldn't be as fun on draft day, or in general.
