Mel's Overused Draft Phrase
I'm tired of him saying that practically every player was a "Potential Top 10 Pick Going Into This Year." What a meaningless phrase. Random McScrubby from Podunk University in Division III is a "potential" top 10 pick before a season begins.

I know what you mean, hasn't he said that about almost every single guy so far?

I like how every coach and GM when asked about their pick says "we didn't expect him to be there when we picked"
MEL: Coach Lewis, how surprised are you that Palmer fell to you at #1?" LEWIS: Well, we certainly didn't expect him to be at #1 where we usually pick every year, but it was a very pleasant surprise and we hope that Palmer does better than our recent QB selections in round 1, which I guess could be worded "I hope he's better than mediocre". We thought the team with the #0 pick would jump all over Palmer, but obviously that wasn't the case. MEL: Palmer was definiately a potential top 10 pick in the 5th round before the season started, so it'll be interesting to see how the Bung....I mean Bengals mess this up. Back to you Boomer!"

EDIT: I thought the topic was "most overused draft phrase." Mel doesn't actually do this, but EVERYONE else does:
I hate pluralisms. they are a lot better after adding a Jerome McDougale. uhh, is there a line of McDougle clones available in the draft?

Mine was value. I've never heard the word used more than by Kiper.
