There are quite a few under-the-radar players that us fans scout ourselves but hear nothing about the Bengals visiting/scouting. Now, of course they keep some stuff secret, but I think they also just simply don't have enough scouts/coaches to cover enough players.

Related note - I'm sure the Bengals could employ some of the fans on this board on the cheap (or even voluntary) to help scout prospects for them.

Yeah, I sort of take issue with the coaches acting as scouts.  I feel like they should be more concerned with improving the talent already on their hands, and not have their attention divided by trying to identify prospective talent.  I mean, think about it.  The college season is now, the NFL season is also now.  So many players, so many games, and films don't show everything that a person would notice in live attendance.  Going to combine, orchestrated pro days, and Senior Bowl week, in my opinion, don't give as true of an insight into players as actually watching them in live games with their team.
