Personnel guys, scouts and analysts try to develop metrics to make the NFL Draft a science. But with each passing year it seems as the the NFL Draft is art not science.

During the NFL Owners Meetings Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll was on NFL Network describing how his team approaches the draft. While acknowledging that other teams and mock draft analysts might stack their boards differently, Carroll’s approach is to find players who fit in to the Seahawks system.
Consequently a player the Seahawks may be excited about after handing in the draft card, other teams might label “a reach”. The approach has merit and seems to work. One Ravens source has indicated that Ozzie & Company may shift their “best player available” metrics a bit to take into account the changes in the game, particularly the passing game.
Add it all up and we should expect the unexpected during draft weekend.
Analysts try to make the draft a science and in the end it may be more like art.
And when it comes to art, beauty lies in they eyes of the beholder.
