When was the last time the draft was this up in the air? After the first three it's the wild west. Player rankings are changing each day. This draft is a complete wildcard. You may get the best player, outside of the top three, at 12 just as easily as at 4. Depending on what you like, you might get your player at 20. This is a crapshoot more than usual.

And if the guy up in your slot busts you look like a freaking genius. If the guy you pick later turns out to be a player, or the better player, you're legendary. What's your point?
