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

I have friends that are legitimate NFL scouts and they laugh at people that think they can assess a player from you tube videos and have zero football experience.

Forget YouTube highlights. I take everything they say on www.draftwhatever.com as gospel.

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.

 

That will never happen because it's easier for everyone to criticize and jump to assumption without any research, the internet really sucks sometime.

Not sure if some of you are idiots or you really think scouts get the same game film(tv view) that we see. They get what they call "all 22" where they see the entire field and are able to zoom, rewind, etc

I'm not interested in watching that much tape.  Then again I don't grab a pitchfork and I trust the people who know what they're doing.

We know that. Since that's not on netflix for us to gobble up we have to go to other sources.

Still waiting for the OP to post where he's getting his tape from.

Not to be a jerk but yes I can. I love football but I have a full time job, a wife, three kids and other interests. If I want to discuss my opinions on an internet forum without doing extensive research, I can and will.

You could say this about the draft in general when it comes to fans. Even when the team makes picks fans love its usually just based on it being a well known name or a draft guys liking it on TV becasue most didn't even watch a full game of that player.

Sorry I have a life. It's  not our jobs to sit  at home and watch videos of players on YouTube for hours when we aren't  the ones making the picks. Thats honestly gay as hell

[pstall]

Im not saying become an expert but think if the time many spout off on something when you could have easily spent thst same amount of time watching some footage.

Oh and i have a family and a life as well.
