While everyone always looks at the top NFL Draft prospects and the players that will be picked in the 1st Round, that's not where the draft is won. Teams that can find starting caliber players as the draft goes along end up building the best rosters in the NFL, and competing for Super Bowl's. The best place to showcase your talent if you aren't one of the guaranteed 1st Round picks is the Senior Bowl.

This NFL Draft cycle, one of the names you have to pay attention to is TCU free safety Bud Clark. Using Redshirts, Bud Clark spent 6 seasons at TCU making him an older prospect, but his starting experience and playmaking ability is off the charts. Clark finished his TCU career with 215 tackles, 20 pass defenses, and 15 interceptions producing in every aspect of the job.

Instead of being a lower round steal, why can't his performance move Bud up in the draft and make him more money?

Because the nfl is stupid. They only care about measurables when it comes to the draft. You gotta be this tall and that fast. Your hands are too small. Your feet are too small. All that [ Finebaum ] that doesn't really matter at the end of the day. If you can play or not is secondary to all that other [ Finebaum ].

Give me the player with natural instincts and high football IQ with a 4.3-4.4 speed versus a great athlete who is dumb as hell and runs a 4.1.

Yeah, those guys that scout for a living and who are tasked with putting together the best team they can are stupid and don’t know what they are doing. Lol.

It’s an imperfect science, there will always be busts and undrafted guys that turn out to be all pros, but those guys know what they are doing. If 32 teams pass on a guy over and over, there’s a reason.
