Okay, I admit it. I was a little hard on the profession of draft analysis in the headline. Declaratively prognosticating how each and every unfinished product will project at the next level is, in fact, a rather difficult endeavor. Unfortunately, when you're as wrong as quickly as this random collection of individuals were, the only logical thing to do is compare your "highly educated" opinion to the instinctive grunt of a primate. Marshon Lattimore had basically already lapped the field for Defensive Rookie Of The Year by approximately Week 7, and - as if that weren't a hard enough kick to the dick of the doubters - he didn't even play in Week 3. The kid was almost immediately an absolute beast at a position that typically requires the most unforgiving of transition periods. He inarguably completely transformed a secondary that was only capable of covering the opposition's point spread prior to his arrival. Other than an unfortunate history of injuries, I have absolutely no idea what these people saw when making the leap to calling him a "bust", but they fell about 40 yards short of making any sense whatsoever. Just for the sake of statistically analyzing their ineptitude, that's about three more yards than Marshon Lattimore allowed per game during a rookie season in which he let up all of zero touchdowns. Suffice to say, he earned the right to celebrate the first anniversary of his promising NFL career by throwing a little shade the way of the "bright minds" whose bulbs clearly need changing after inevitably coming up empty on yet another mock draft.
