Every selection process has it's advantages and it's disadvantanges. I do wish that the offensive line had been selected on personal achievement. The offensive line gets less credit than any position on the field in my opinion and when a good running back rings up a great season, someone has to be in there helping them out and opening holes. For this reason, it would have been nice to see O linemen get indiviual kudos where they don't get thier name in the paper or television much unless they cause a sack, or a fumble, jump offsides at inopertune moments or miss a block causing a game losing tackle. I understand that this is the way that this has always been done on these picks, and because of that, all you can do is shrug it off and accept it.
On another note about disadvantages on these type of picks, you could look at the CJ all state picks process. There is no honorable mention section for wide recievers or athletes. There were some boys that I know from Knox Central that couldn't have been left off that list if there was. What was a letdown for some kids on the Mountain team, was a celebration on the CJ list and vice versa.
So....what it all boils down to is the fact that all you can do is shrug and accept how things shake out after the man makes the picks. At least that is how I see it.
