Is it not possible that evals will have wider variance this year from expert to expert simply because of so much more limited info available?
Far fewer games
No normal Combine
No personal visits
Scouts can’t access practices
I’m thinking that there will be more quality players falling into the later rounds or even UDFA’s than in ‘normal’ years. Best scouting teams might be able to really score late in the draft, maybe even in round 2 and below, as well. Fingers crossed for our Rams.
If a scouting dept. has access to far fewer practices, games, and visits, how would the best scouting departments be advantaged? It seems like all of them would be screwed.
Well, even given same limited information some teams just seem to glean a little more from it than others. Call it intuition or whatever, but it’s just there. Like investors, reporters, etc?
Also, some teams/scouts seem to be just a bit better ‘connected’ with college coaches than other competitors might be. As such, they get more and possibly better scraps of information? Rams scouts seem exceptionally well connected, I think. I seem to recall reading an article/interview on this topic in the past. I’m talking Snead/McVay regime here, btw.
