i would think so because you never know how the draft will turn out and someone who was thought to be "out of range" for you could be sitting there, it'd be nice to have actually scouted him...

isn't that kinda what happened with Star? most thought he'd be out of range and we "wished upon a falling star"

In order for any scout, or anyone else for that matter to truly evaluate the talent of a particular player, one must see them in person. If he visits with the alleged "best" WR in the draft, he an then see the dropoff of each player after that. If he sees these things with his own two eyes, then he doesn't need to rely in anyone else's word, and can also judge the disparity between "the best" WR and a middle round "flyer".

I love Proehl in general. Phenomenal player, fantastic human being, and probably an even better talent evaluator/coach at the WR position that there is. We are blessed to have him.

Yeah echoing what others have said, never know how the draft will shake out. Guys are drafted higher or lower than their projections all the time, and something like Star's heart condition can cause certain teams to back off a top talent while others will pounce.

 

If a guy like Parker slides anywhere close to the 20s, always the (not likely) potential of a trade up as well. Especially when we can essentially bank on having an extra 3rd rounder in 2016 for Hardy. Again, not saying we'd trade up because it's not GMan's style...but say for shits and gigs a top WR like Parker slides to the 20ish range...it would cost a 4th or so to jump up and grab him. Not saying it's likely before I get flamed, but the team is just doing their due diligence for any possible situation.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
