SO:
- Bruce Campbell - predicted first --> fourth
- Capers/Cook -- predicted third-fifth --> seventh

Without viewing all their tape/etc, it would seem that even if Bruce Campbell busts, he would probably still be better than Capers/Cook, right? I mean, it would seem his likelihood of "busting" may be high - but still lower than Capers/Cook. It's hard to believe the "pundits" get the grades mixed up by four rounds.. At most a RT, at least a RG. AND who knows, the TWO seventh rounders MAY have even been available undrafted.

Another way to put it -- he MAY bust, but he is still a good VALUE in the 4th - where you quickly forget busts, but you are very happy if they succeed.
Actually, some people predicted that the Raiders would be mesmerized by Campbell's freak athletic ability and take him in the first round. It was more a knock on the Raiders than any affirmation of Bruce Campbell. No one thought he was worth a first round pick
