Only thing that is certain is change, death, taxes, and consensus boards are way off.

Well, you're wrong about the last part.

You're just dead wrong about the last part.

The consensus boards have been very good at this.

But they're really only very good at two things.

They're very good at telling us who the top prospects are going to be.

And Arif put this out there that it was something like 26 out of 32 projected first round

picks, which is right around the same ballpark that it is usually.

And I forget what it was for the top two rounds.

not necessarily the teams, but who the first two rounds of picks will be.

They very well predict that.

And then they very well tell you over historically, uh, which reaches are going to be the

most risky and a very high percentage of it.

I think he said like in his article,

I read it,

but I can't remember the exact percentage,

but I think it was something like 77% of the mega reaches had gone wrong for the team

that did the reach or they didn't get the expected value out of the draft

pick.
