I've noticed that I 'scout' (I use that term VERY loosely since I have no clue what I am doing) some positions better than others. I have blind spots. I love assessing WRs, TEs, LBs, DTs and DEs. But I am a bit unsure when watching O-line play, and maye even Safties. That means I get more excited about WRs, TEs, LBs and D-line players. I tend to not put OL or Safeties high on my board, maybe because I am unsure what I am seeing. Which positions are you most confident at assessing?
Passrushers (DE/OLB) and OTs since you watch both when evaluating...but only on the pro level since I don't have to worry about projecting...they are already here .
I feel pretty confident across the board, but the toughest is the QB, it's all about athletic movement relative to position, recognition quickness, and the body..have had a good percentage on my evaluations. I really believe this..If we fielded a front office with certain members on this board, and had the time allotted to study players, we could build a great team. Remember, we don't get to watch a lot of these players in person...that heightens our chances of failure.
I have no idea what college players are going to be good professional players with any ability or degree of confidence.
I have a knack for "hitting" on CB's. I tend to spot them, but fair warning, it's mostly luck, and randomness. NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING. There are only the "more informed".
I'm decent across much of the board but WR, DE, hybrid OLB, and QB are my strongest. Oline is probably my weakest, followed by projecting CB & S. There are players at these positions I'm quite confident in either liking or disliking but there's also a handful I simply ignore b/c I can't figure out, more so at Oline though. And kickers. Not fond of evaluating kickers. lol
Pish posh. Isn't that the saying over there? http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pish posh Maybe it's an American saying, I though that it was English...
Pretty good at evaluating reverse cowgirl. Downright marksman when it comes to evaluating wheelbarrow.
Ehhh... I'm no professional but if I had to choose based on my personal cognitive thinking during the draft, for example thinking to myself, "That kid is gonna be really good." and he ends up fulfilling my gut feeling, my choices would be.. RB, WR, Secondary, and that's pretty much it.
I don't have a clue about anything. None. Well, I know Sick is in the closet, Boomer is not British, he's Scottish - the wee kilt wearin' kind. Chris just got married and has since become much, much more, as he now drags around a 100lb ball and chain. Alen is really Victor I'zabombmaker or something like that. Barry is really a hemaphrodite and Lucky just sucks worse than Johnathan Martin. Just sayin' Oh, and I wear grass skirts and do rain dances on weekends, all the while looking for the perfect half coconuts required to cover my moobs.
But I bet Sick's murse makes your eyes sparkle! Usually I can spot a RDE who can pass rush, and CFLers who probably can play in the NFL, otherwise.. I like long walks on the beach, good bloody mary's and swimming at night...
Hmm, "draft scout style" "The couple on the left, she has clearly lost leverage and positioning due to a lack of upper body strength as she flattened out her route towards the side of the court, now look at the two on the right, clearly has the upper body strength to drive the play forward..."
I'm guessing one or both those kids grow up a fan of show tunes. That's a photo you save to embarrass them with in 15 years. lol
