Really? You don't think Daniel Jeremiah or Dane Brugler has more knowledge than a scouting intern who was "in the room on draft day"? Because that's a foolish opinion.

When does it become more than a blind squirrel finds a nut? For me never. I don’t care enough to spend the 10K hours.

Your opinion seems to always be the loudest.

Now this is where you really lose me Dam. A scouting intern? Do you really think these NFL teams who are run by billionaires rely on a scouting intern? What the fuck are you talking about? Ballard really liked Paye, and he was not going to be swayed by some scouting intern. SMDH!

These so called draft gurus don't talk to the players, they don't know how they think or how committed they are. Mel Kiper said Mahomes would be a bust and the Colts should have drafted Trent Dilfer. I like Jeremiah, but he is no smarter than most of us on this board, well maybe he is, but not by much.

Seems louder to me if 3 or 4 people are responding back with the same opinion, but could just be me.

Who said anything about Ballard being swayed by a scouting intern? I certainly didn't. My comment about a scouting intern was in response to JAFF's comment that seemed to imply that "being in the room on draft day" was the only thing that could make one an expert, which is ludicrous on its face, because there are some people in some of those rooms with almost no experience, and let's not forget that Ryan Grigson ran several draft rooms, and he might be the worst drafting GM ever. I challenge anyone to read The Beast and tell me that Dane Brugler doesn't have as much or more knowledge as an area scout who is "in the room" with 1-5 years of experience.

This is what Kiper said about Mahomes. Seems pretty spot on to me. As for Dilfer, he was an NFL average starting QB and would've been way more valuable than Trev Alberts was.

Guessing you think you know from experience?

I’m wrong on occasion, watch my spellink.

But I dont claim to be something that I’m not. And those two guys you mentioned earlier, never heard of them. Which NFL teams have them in their scouting office?

What did I claim to be that I'm not?

Your standard is arbitrary and therefore not worth acknowledgement.
