FOR THE sixth straight year, we threw an NYC draft party for future pros who won't get to shake hands with the commish.

Robert Lester, SS, Alabama
Good fit for: Eagles
Round 5, pick 136
The former Alabama safety needs both hands to wear all of his SEC and national title rings. But the bling comes with a catch. "People think that if I played well it's because of the players around me," says Lester, who had 14 picks in three seasons. "Plus, Coach Saban brainwashed us to think that every time we step on the field we're going to win. It kills the joy of winning. But now I'm a guy who doesn't know how to lose, and I'm taking that mindset to the NFL." Scouts, though, question the 6'1", 220-pounder's cover skills, and his 4.66 40 at the combine didn't excite them either. But Lester's strength is his instinct for the game, highly developed even though he didn't strap on the pads until 11th grade. "I know what's going to happen on the field before it happens," he says. If only that were true of draft day.
