There's a reason why teams get so many 7th round compensation picks, as opposed to earlier. The draft is a crapshoot, but you're much more likely to hit on guys of value in the upper rounds.
Price was my early wish, partly because I'm a OSU homer, and I'd still love to get him and think he'd solidify our line.
I wish we could take James at 12 and still find a way to trade back into the first to get Price.
Agreed on 7ths not having a whole lot of value. Would much rather have a couple 4th rounders and no 7th round picks.
Would love to get Derwin James and Billy Price and i am no OSU homer.

How many players do you think you could do in one day, watching tape and so on. I know we have a small staff but in today's world I think that they can look at most every player they need to.
Exactly what i believe. I know i would be watching tape none stop right now if i was a coach or in the scouting dept.
Shit, i watch as much tape as i can and it isn't my damn job ffs.

But just number wise, you’re looking at 3000+ eligible for the draft. If 10 scours/coaches turn their attention to it, that’s a few hours a day if you’re trying to skim the surface. Which I’m guessing we try to identify guys likely to be where we pick and see which ones fit.
Injuries construe drafts. We have been very unlucky with injuries to our top drafted players lately but that is on the
FO, coaches and scouts as well, especially with Og and Ross. WJ3 and Billings were just bad luck i guess. But WJ3
looks like he could very well be one of the top Corners in the NFL soon and i still have hope for Billings.

These coaches/scouts should be doing pretty much nothing but looking at film and players 24 hours a day right now.
Even 8 hours a day like a normal job you could get a lot of film in, tons.
