Blinkscout 2024 WR
|
|
This is a hot one, so I wanted to give everyone plenty of time with it.
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.
This was the best year at this position, and maybe any position, ever. Usually there are a few combine snubs, guys that maybe should have been invited. This year I think I have a dozen. Kids that could legit get drafted. Why? I come into the year with an idea of where someone goes ... does their play match? Yes? If they're snubbed, it must be athleticism ... if it's not, these guys jump back up the draft board.
There are 67 players. Last year 33 WRs were drafted. You'll note the mess of combine snubs in the 5-6th round range. I've watched all these guys for some time ... they'll make practice squads for sure and likely teams. Some could stick. I'm going to italicize the combine snubs ...
I want a top player here. Top 40 on my board. I think it's doable.
