I don't think everyone would be mad if we walked out of there with those two guys... The problem is... that's an assumption that you DO Get those two guys. You're risking not drafting a QB by trying to wait till the 2nd, and if wilson and Smith ARE taken, you're basically ****ed... until next year. You don't PLAN for the 2nd round and hope that he's still there. The Eagles or jags or raiders may all take QB's... what do you do then? YOU DONT HAVE A CHOICE. If we could map out the draft and say.. Joeckel #1 and Wilson in the 2nd... I think people could get on board... But this isn't Madden where you just restart the system until you get the guys you want to fall to you.

They you could walk out of the first 3 rounds with the highest rated Qb in the draft, a franchise LT, and 3 other guys. You start trading those picks, you miss out on getting the best CB or BPA available , when you could have just taken whoever you like the best at 1 and not risk losing him. |

I've posted this many times...
Jaguars @ 2 (and 33) Raiders @ 3 Eagles @ 4 Cardinals @ 7 Bills @8 Jets @ 9 All need a starting QB badly. Chargers @ 11 Saints @ 15 Cowboys @ 18 Broncos @ 28 Ravens @ 29 All have either declining, aging or potentially departing QBs. That's why it makes NO SENSE to bet on the second-best QB falling to pick No. 34 (or, really, even No. 8).

I didn't say that. I said it isn't as much of a gamble as some think. I said they will have a decent idea of where they will go and make their decisions based on that.

If you're talking about the lead guys that work for teams, coordinating efforts? Sure. But most scouts are just sports-obsessed guy who are willing to work hard and pay to be certified as a scout. I should know. I worked with several of them and explored early steps in gaining certification myself. I also do some amateur college hoops scouting in the area for a few national writers. The line between "Smart fan that pays attention and puts in the time" and "certified scout" is not as big as you think.

I don't know about an official NFL one. But there are multiple scouting camps you can go to, that provide a certification of sorts "i.e. "Graduate DUNCAN IDAHO School of Scouting" etc.
Easier to get into baseball ones than football, I think. But it's been a long time since I was poking around that stuff. Things might have changed.

I did the sports journalist thing, long enough to realize that it sounds better than it actually is. It's hard to enjoy sports when it's your job.

Smith and Wilson will be long gone by the time trading up is within reasonable range you moron.
Everyone questioned the McNabb pick which turned out Ok. Geno is a better prospect.
