the real story of the NFL draft

During the 5 month break between TOSU's last regular season game and their rose bowl waxing there was a remarkable amount of Troy Smith as an NFL QB hype.

Peter King - who will never be a draft expert, but certainly knows the league - had him as a top 5 guy. Mel Kiper had him at 20 (http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/insider/columns/story?columnist=kiper_jr_mel&id=2687040).

Then he was one horrible game and suddendly he may or may not be a first day guy. I know football purists always get upset about how much stock is placed on the combine but maybe the games themselves get a bit too much hype as well.
