TIPS 

Tags: NFL, Draft, Myth, Theory, Worst, Science, Players, College, 10, ESPN

When it comes to the NFL Draft, these are 10 common theories that aren't always true. To read more, go to ESPN.com - Drafting is not an exact science, by Todd McShay (link is below).

1.	Offensive tackle is the safest position on which to use a high pick: Robert Gallery anyone
2.	Don't waste a high pick on a tight end or safety: I bet teams would rather have Antonio Gates or Roy Williams right now than someone who is probably out of the league(Ryan Leaf)
3.	If you need a franchise quarterback, get him in the first round or forget about: Tom Brady case in point
4.	The best pick is the No. 1 overall pick: Akili Smith and Tim Couch wouldn't argue this point.
5.	You can always find a good running back later in the draft
6.	The farther away from the ball a player lines up, the easier his transition from college to the pros will be
7.	Cornerbacks have been devalued with increased emphasis on the hand-chuck rule
8.	Avoid Heisman-winning quarterbacks
9.	Guards aren't worth taking with a first-round pick
10.	Always choose the best available player, rather than drafting for need
