Every year combine numbers will vault people who are not good football players higher than normal, the same is said for big name players from big name schools. Overall I guess the draft is nothing but a crap shoot but sometimes a guy hits the lotto and ends up being a total bust (ie: Mike Williams) or you find a guy no one ever heard of and he becomes a pro-bowler (ie: TJ Houshmanzadeh).
