There are several people on this website that could definitely work as scouts (most scouts are pretty incompetent and products of both personal/professional nepotism).
The world is filled with billions of talented people that could have done incredible or more worthy things if they'd chosen a different path or things had fallen a certain way.

That would be true if scouts were making the picks. The top personnel guys make the big league picks. The scouts job is to find nuances in those big league picks which head personnel guys fact check, and to find diamonds in the rough players head personnel guys don't have time to scout.
Just because you can be a scout doesn't mean you are qualified to make good decisions with scouting information.
