Also would one of these guys be better on another team with better line? It's a good thing people have different ideas,wouldn't it be boring to all think alike?

Bottom line is everyone has a idea of what they want in the best player at different postions. I 'm sure everyone here in Kansas would agree that Bryce is #1 RB in the State, BUT who is #2? I would imagine there is 5 different highly knowledgable people out there that would pick different Players,thats human nature.It would be so boring if everyone had same options.Trust me some kid who isn't ranked and has no stars will be getting drafted to the Pro's in 5 years it happens every year.

They have admitted as much time and time again. Why that matters, I have no idea, but that's the difference.
