When I started writing and covering the NFL Draft, I made a number of grave mistakes in my player evaluations and comparisons.
What I did far too often was compare players to their potential maximum and then ignore the bad portions of their game.
It results in seeing Geno Smith have streaks where he looked as good as someone like Aaron Rodgers, but ignored the portions of the game where he looked like J.P. Losman or Charlie Frye.
It is when I made the decision that I would start giving a high end and low end comp for a player.
