Good draft, team drafts guys I like. Bad draft, team drafts guys I don't like or have never heard of.
Seriously though, a draft can't be judged right after it's done. There are things happening in a building that influence a draft that we the fans do not know about. Maybe it is injuries, personal issues, or contract impasses. You just have to trust that the front office is taking the guys that they feel they need to be successful.
The name recognition is a HUGE part of what fans like.
When you get to Rounds 5-6-7...that unknown guy from the small school may have a higher upside than the guy with name recognition from a big school that is limited.
The scheme that the Pro teams runs is a big determinant of success too. Does the guy fit the system. Some CB's are good man-to-man corners yet we play a Zone scheme here mainly. Kirkpatrick is more suited to man coverage for instance and you see it took him several years to be ready.
