It's not necessarily less informative. The public only gets to see small amounts that matter. The interviews are a big deal if you do them correctly. Also, the combine tends to be an information bubble. So, if I see an Underwear Olympics MVP but had an underwhelming college career, does something on the tape pop out? Was he not being utilized correctly? Was there some issue that wasn't the players fault? Or is this an Ian Thomas practice MVP? The combine gives everyone an idea about the physical and athletic capabilities of an athlete but not necessarily how that translates to NFL success. That is a vastly more complex problem to solve. It involves tape study, player interviews/interactions, doing background research, etc, etc. The old school Al Davis "Combine Star" method does not work. At all. It's basically what we have done in Carolina for quite some time. -

I don't think there is a guy at that position in that class of bust. Richardson has strong Jamarcus Russell vibes. I will never understand how people were fooled by him. I will say at QB Cam Ward is a little scary. He leans gunslinger, so the bust risk is just naturally higher, although his physical abilities are clearly the best in this draft at QB.
