is it time to expand our scouting department?

My guess would be that we have a limited amount of time to spend on scouting. With our current draft needs, WR and OL mainly, I would venture to say that while there is interest in ASF and Sankey, unless there is a trade back for picks, we won't be seriously looking for a running back or TE in late second or early third. If we did go RB, there would be a mass coronary across the huddle.

Quality over Quantity.

If we can have a draft similar to last year's where we picked up five starters or at least find another stud/superstar in the first round like Cam, Kuechly and Star, then I could care less what the size of our scouting department is at the end of the day.

We picked up 5 starters in the draft last year? Star was the only consistent starter.

KK was in rotation

Kug never even practiced

AJ will eventually be a permanent starter, but he wasn't last year.

And Barner never started and only saw limited return duties and garbage time carries.

I didn't see anything that suggests our staff is small, other than the fact we weren't present at one particular pro day. Just think of it this way if it will make you feel better: we're looking at someone that the rest is missing.

Even though he wasn't drafted, I think you have to include Melvin.

Short

Klein

Lester*

While these most of these players didn't get the start per se, they were heavily involved in our line up. Short, Lester and White are credited with starts however.

I was just going of the draft like you stated. We had 5 picks and only one started more than 3 games.

We switched from a big group to a small one called BLESTO. They could be handling this pro day for all we know

 

The scouting organizations scout the college players in the seasons prior to their final season. It's for the purpose of providing baseline information that scouts can then use in the players final season. So, when a teams scout is looking a seniors or players likely coming out early they will also do some basic scouting of the other players on the teams of the games they attend. This is then collected and distributed to the scouts of the member organizations as the baseline for their next years scouting.

dave hired a old scout form colts, i forgot his his name. he wanted a older scout and this guy lives in SC. he was considered a great scout(i believe he was in charge of all scouts), but had a bad break form the colts. the great isray, said this scout was retiring..... once the scout heard that, he denied it. messy

    • Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others. 
    • I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
