Parcells on Draft Confidential:
There’s going to be a lot of information in this show that is unfamiliar to the average fan. I am hopeful the show will provide insights into how difficult it is to draft successfully on a consistent basis, and fans should also come away with a lot better understanding of how the draft board got to be the draft board.
“I’m prepared to talk about the players in this year’s draft. I know the strengths of the class, and I know the quarterbacks well. None of the quarterbacks are ‘can’t miss’ prospects. There are certain attributes that some of these guys possess that aren’t evident to the naked eye. Some of the attributes will carry them forward to a successful career and some will be prohibitive to that happening.”
And we are done with this post.
