This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I have some vague memory of Neil Smith as a huge by TahoeDweller
D lineman from Nebraska who had a good pro career. Maybe with KC? Did he lose draft position because of his wonderlic score and how is that known? Are there examples of other linemen who were top prospects in the draft who fell in the draft because of their wonderlic scores? Is there proof of direct causation, i.e., not just that there is correlation? I could see there being worries about a draftable QB with a really bad wonderlic score. Didn't the LSU QB, Jamarcus Russell, still go No. 1 with a bad score? But again, that was the Raiders and he flopped.
