Draft Day

the NFL draft is today. I just wrote a paper on how the draft is like any economic bubble--specifically the Dutch Tulip bubble, but whatever. The point is that no matter how much informmation is available about a player, what matters more to that player's value as a draft pick is the talk about that information, and the force of history. Why else so many WR taken in the first draft when so many f them are busts? I mean, Marques Colston was like a 6th round pick and I'd take him over any of the WRs taken over him last year.

I wonder if I should ust present this paper on wednesday instead of the paper I have yet to write.

UPDATE: Calvin Johnson, GaTech WR, just went #2 overall. Will he be a Torry Holt or a Marcus Nash? Keep in mind he was drafted by Detroit (http://www.coldhardfootballfacts.com/Article.php?Page=776)
