Draft coverage and discussion is so fradulent
Even among the guys supposedly getting paid to actually "watch the film", but especially from all the random YouTubers and whoever else, you just know there's not much in the way of actual scouting being done. Rather a whole bunch of groupthink, and guys parroting the leading voices, which is why all the rankings and mock drafts look exactly the same.
So the point of this thread is: if you've actually spent any time watching some video, or looking at their testing numbers, or whatever else (NOT just parroting XYZ dude) - share your takes that are different to the consensus. |

I don't really see it this way. I think you just have to weed through some of the bullshit and find the guys that are actually good and objective, but they absolutely exist.

The guys with big names and any inside information aren't objective at all. They're getting fed intel and to get it, they have to shade stuff. Be it from agents or teams or schools. They have sources they have to maintain and keep happy. I think the mask fully came off in that regard last year. So when you're looking to the guys that are still a little under the radar, A) they likely have less complete information (where they gonna get all that tape, especially if it's already pared down to relevant component parts so they can actually provide thorough review of the 200+ players they'll want to get eyes on) and B) A lot of them are just as full of shit as the next guy. In wading through all those, it's just damn hard. Mostly what I've started doing is a shotgun approach. I'll see snippets here and there, then I'll go look into them myself. But there's just not a holistic source worth a shit, IMO. And I still think the KCSN guys lift our stuff. I'll never get over the Jabaal Sheard comp they dropped on Karlaftis like a week after I posted it here. I went obscure on purpose there and BOOM - it's in their draft guide. That's...odd. |

I also think they have a good understanding of the majority of teams. FYI, Trevor and Connor took Morgan at 32 in that mock. |
Here's that particular mock if anybody wants to watch:

I didn't mean them. They're legit. |

If you post an opinion on a guy that is different you will get yelled at and people lose their minds. |

Looking at the trade value chart, throwing in a number 2 for next year should definitely get a trade with Seattle done.
