Mike Reinfeldt's Draft Picks Minus first round

There are so many factors involved in whether or not a player does well in the NFL. A team scout can base a recommendation on different factors-college results, coaches' statements, how the kid will fit into the system of play, and others. Then, it's how the kid responds to the challenge of NFL play. So really, aside from the stats on each person, most everything else is subjective and sometimes the conclusions simply don't pan out.
