Blinkscout 2024 CB

CB is the one I love scouting most, because top CBs can exist anywhere ... Darious Williams was undrafted ... Josh Norman was a 5th rounder. So you keep tabs on everyone ... and try to find those who will use their athleticism at the next level to improve their technique over time.

For those that aren't familiar with my process, I track players through their entire college career. I do not have access to anything beyond what announcers may say, and mostly I'm watching for specific skillsets that are valuable to me. These change over time, but not by a lot. My actual process of watching film has grown and I definitely get influenced by the other posters, because I trust their eyes. I call it "Blink" scout because my brother came up with the name after reading the book Blink, where people use rapid cognition to make assessments, which is kind of my thing. I don't give that many notes ... Deadpool has that covered. And I go way beyond draftable players. I generally italicize guys that may not be obvious that I think will be great values.
Also, a note I forgot. Practice squad players are more relevant and make more money than ever before, so filling that squad is not only important, it's really like a minor league team getting our coaching so we are going to draw good players.

Average amount of CBs drafted is one of the higher ones at 35 ... I have 67 here.

This is an area of focus obviously, with Darious secured we need a #3 OUTSIDE to take Kendricks job. In this draft you can get that in the 5th if you're smart. I'd rather it be the third or second if we trade down and have more options. And again I'm going to say that this draft, and this position, after the first 4 or 5, is ALL OVER THE MAP. But I'm loooking at someone earlyish and someone late.

I have White and Williams outside. I have Lake and or Durant in the slot. I have Kendricks and THT as backups right now. I'll italicize guys I think I have rated high that will be drafted later for value.
