You guys need to watch more tape of guys before the draft.

Yall cant start seeing guys for the first time on draft night and then turn around and offer any opinions.

Start watching videos of guys that are protected 3-6 rounders a couple of weeks before the draft. But do it this way. 

With NO sound. You come up with your OWN assessment and this will help you see who the player reminds you off and understand their nuances.

This will actually help you to see talent more from a War Room perspective instead of spoon fed talking heads drivel.

When i would evaluate a kid in baseball and help their swing i would tell them to watch pro players in a game with the sound off and take notes. Removing the commentary helped them come to thier own conclusions and became a better player.

A few years back I had one of our resident nimrods argue me that they could evaluate a player just as well as an NFL guy because they had access to videos on the internet.

I'd like to think that was one isolated guy but watching the massive display of stupid that's going on in this forum, that view may be held by quite a few folks here.

My little brother is notorious for this poo. He loves the draft (don't we all), but then he'll be like damn bro I don't like this guy or damn that's a great pick and I'm like bro I don't think you've ever watched one down of college football in your life.

Honestly for a lot of these guys, with the exception of workouts and poo, the scouts basically only have YouTube videos. 

Of course they know what they're looking at, unlike xxxCloudStrifePanthersFan420

I would go to the Shrine Bowls and my buddies would go right ro the programs and i didn’t want to know anything about a guy. Then during the game you would see who stood out. THEN i would ask my buddies so who is #24 or 99 is killing guys etc.

I love the youtube videos that show every play a guy had in a game. Those can actually be very insightful and they are what made me know Gabbert would be poo while Lord Mayock was declaring him better than Cam.

I love those.

"Highlight reel scouting" is a lousy way to evaluate a player. Everybody looks great when are you see are their good plays.

CloudStrife has a lot of scouting experience.

    • Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets. 
    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
