2008 NFL Draft - Media Focuses On Cost of Draft Picks

After all these years, for some reason, there's a sudden focus on the "high cost" of NFL teams paying "top dollar" for unproven picks.

I personally think that's not right, that take. The answer's simple: college football has become kind of a simulation for the NFL game. The passing game at the college level is arguably now more advanced, but the overall game is slower. Still, the answer is to focus on players that faced scenarios most like those in the NFL.
