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.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
