Agent Jack Bechta decided to go out of his way to rip into what he refers to "so-called draft gurus" in his latest for National Football Post.

Obviously, as someone who writes a little bit about the NFL Draft online, this caught my attention.

Full disclosure: SB Nation is now a partner of some sort with NFP.

Bechta, who represents Al Harris, Tyrell Johnson, Eric Steinbach and others, called out draft sites based mostly on a lack of access.

He asks what draft writers have access to game tape, write about the draft full time, have real NFL experience or interview hundreds of players.

Invariably, the answer to each of these questions, and the others he poses, will be no. Other than a handful of people, those who write about the draft online do not get the luxury to that access.

So it’s a fair enough argument from Bechta. But what exactly gives Bechta the authority to write for a national Web site, particularly on this subject?

So you have to ask the following when reading something Bechta writes:

- Is writing his full-time job?

- If he weren’t an agent, would he really be able to write for NFP?

- Did he really research this topic before just ripping into people who probably do it for minimal or zero pay?

- Does Bechta own a dictionary?

- Did Bechta really pass his English composition 101 course in college?

Now, these last two are a little below the belt. Sorry, Jack. But the following comment he posted begs those questions:

"The point of the article is that once you get passed the first round…"

Their, they’re, there. To, two, too. Your, you’re.

Passed. Past.

(Note: I’m aware you’ll find spelling and grammar errors on this site. However, you won’t in a post where I’m questioning a random person’s abilities.)

Bechta does himself a disservice his comments on the post. He writes, "Furthermore, a draft expert can not be judeged/graded until 3 years after the draft anyway."

What a perfunctory statement, grammar snafus aside. Perhaps Bechta was just towing the company line, but he goes out of his way to tout NFP draft writer Wes Bunting. I don’t know Bunting and have never spoken to him. I like his work, though. But to my knowledge, Bunting doesn’t have Bechta’s three years of experience required before judgment can be cast. Also to my knowledge, Bunting’s only experience is thanks to paying for an online course that anyone can take.

Besides, could Bechta’s cohort at NFP answer yes to all those questions he posed? Undoubtedly, the answer is no.

The point here (and there may be one), is that the majority of people who write about the draft do it for fun. Since I cannot speak for all of them, I will only speak for myself.

I write about the draft as a hobby. Even though I have a very personally rewarding full-time job, this is what I enjoy in my free time.

Do I watch game (or coach’s) tape? No. It is too much of a hassle to even ask athletic departments for it.

Do I go to the NFL Scouting Combine, pro days or the NFL Draft? No. However, if I wanted to, I could.

Could I be interviewing players? Absolutely.

Knowing these facts, you can continue following this site if you want. However, I don’t do this for traffic. I don’t do this to make money (Disclosure: I’ve made a grand total of $25 writing about the draft). I don’t do this to buddy up with players or agents. I don’t do this with the hopes of becoming a professional football scout.

I do this for fun. If you read it, great. If you feel so strongly about something I write that you comment on it, I love you.

So regardless of what Bechta or anyone else wants to think, this draft site won’t cease. We'll continue putting out mock drafts. We'll continue offering player analysis. We'll continue directing the most interesting news your way.

So if some player wants to take what is written here, or at any other draft site, as the gospel, perhaps his agent isn’t doing a good enough job of tempering expectations.
