Basisphilosophie » There's no definitive way to predict a perfect draft.

All the experts and all the scouts in the world can do an outstanding job identifying talent but there will always be booms and busts. Sports are just funny that way. In the NFL http://www.jetsfootballauthentics.com/jachai-polite-jersey-authentic , an entire weekend is dedicated to the draft. It's that big of a deal. For the young athletes, it's obviously a dream come true. For the teams selecting, it becomes the building block of their organizations. The team with the first overall pick has the toughest decision of them all.A player selected number one overall is not expected to be a good player. Good players can be found in the later rounds. Those selected number one overall are expected to be great. Game changers. Perennial Pro Bowlers. Most of all, they're supposed to win games. With still no lottery in place for the NFL (seriously NFL, what's the holdup?), the team selecting first had the worst season of the league in the prior year and is in need of a desperate turnaround.Truth is, not every number one pick has lived up to the hype. Few have. Others have turned out to be good players and contributors (*cough* *cough* Chuma Edoga Jersey , Alex Smith) but clearly not worth the hype. Then there are the few that have been complete failures (please see: JaMarcus Russell). With over 250+ players drafted and a large amount that go undrafted each season, we don't have to go far to find players that, looking back now, would be considered more worthy of the first overall selection than those who actually were.In this countdown, we're going to explore some "What if?" scenarios for those players that should have been selected number one overall. Some even involved in trade scenarios. Order is based on year in a descending timeline and not necessarily in order of who's most deserving. There are so many variables and outside factors that effect what type of a career an NFL players will have. One year they could be one of the best in the game, and the next, they could be absolutely terrible.That's what makes it so hard to put a dollar sign on a player. It's why negotiations don't happen overnight. Long-term contracts typically include a great deal of guaranteed money. That means http://www.jetsfootballauthentics.com/trevon-wesco-jersey-authentic , no matter how bad a player is, he will still get every cent of money that is labeled guaranteed.We've seen some pretty outrageous deals made in the NFL, especially in recent years. Most of the time, a team ends up paying a player way too much money for performance, or because they want to make sure no other team swoops in and steals them.The free-agent period is nothing like it used to be. Players have little allegiance to teams, and money is thrown around like it's nothing. This creates some of the most mammoth sized and absurd contracts.In some cases, we also see smaller contracts paid to aging players who simply don't deserve the price tag a team as placed on them. There is at least one athlete on each team who isn't worth the money they make Clelin Ferrell Jersey , and some cases, there are several. One NFL team has three of the 15 players on this list.Then there are guys like Darrelle Revis. Year-in and year-out he somehow manages to get the best offers. Offers most athletes at his position couldn't even dream of. This is called being a premium negotiator.Is he worth the money he's making? You be the judge, because he will start out the list of the Top 15 Players Who Are Making Way Too Much Money.
