I think the people criticizing these moves are doing so because it's laughable to think an agent has such an influence over the process. Like somehow he can talk one of these NFL GMs into taking a guy they don't want to take.


I get that. The agent has little to do with draft position. But there is a lot that goes on with an agent relationship.

No need for this to be a flame thread, but your reputation for comments like this makes this expected.

i would think an agent could have a pretty huge impact on where his client gets drafted. The agent sets the agenda for workouts, gets them the training they need, schools them for interviews... all the things that can greatly affect draftability.

Nick Fairley hired a moron... he could've been top 5 two years ago... cost himself a ton of money b/c he was getting some pitiful advice.
