Brack733 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 It is in the financial interest of all these people that make big bucks to cover the draft to lambaste any picks that fall outside their forecast. The greater the discrepancy between their picks and reality, the more their source of income in covering the draft is threatened. It is important for them then to criticize as loudly as possible picks that diverge dramatically from their well publicized views and prognostications, so as to punish those teams that do not follow their script as much as they can punish them through the media. This may serve to make teams less inclined to go against what is the general media wisdom come future draft days. Its important to remember that the only stake these guys have in the draft is to their own previous, well publicized, statements and their wallets.
