Do not mistake KINDNESS for WEAKNESS!
Best to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool rather than open it and remove all doubt.

Notre Dame Pro Day attendees knock Te’o as a first-round prospect
Notre Dame Pro Day attendees knock Te’o as a first-round prospect
“Nice player, but not worth a first-round pick. Not in my view,” said an unnamed “AFC personnel man.”
“He’s not a star,” an AFC head coach said. “If I’m taking a linebacker in the first round, I want a guy who can change my defense. Trust me, I’ve been wrong about linebackers before, but this guy doesn’t fit the bill of what I spend a high pick on.”
“[H]e’s not good enough in my view,” an NFC defensive coordinator said.
We don’t doubt for a second that these sources said what Cole says they said. But without knowing which team they work for, it’s impossible to know whether they really mean it.
It’s a common reality of the pre-draft process. Scouts and coaches knock certain players, possibly because the scouts and coaches believe what they’re saying — and possibly because they have an agenda. When it comes to the draft, everyone has an agenda. When it comes to the strategy-driven NFL, everyone periodically (or more often) tells untruths to advance their agenda.
