It's even worse than that, because at least with college recruiting, it's often public information what all the other teams think about a player. When a guy commits to a school and all he has are offers from Sun Belt or MAC schools, you know the guy is a reach, and if you have a bunch of those, you're probably in trouble. In the NFL draft, we have no idea where other teams have guys on their draft board, so we're pretty much at the mercy of what the talking heads on ESPN have to say, or maybe even worse, our own impressions based on the five minutes of highlights we've seen.
