Rumors: Scouts Think Sewell Is Overrated

This is always interesting because of the idea that "anonymous" somehow means not true. Sure, some could be made up but on the other hand, when guys who have been reporting for 30 years use a source you tend to believe the source is pretty good and definitely real because otherwise, you don't stay in the game that long. No one can put their name on it because if they are employed by a team they literally lose their job, so the only time you can get an idea on guys pre-draft from a team's perspective is anonymous. A couple of guys I follow who have been tied to the scouting community for years, along with a scout I am acquaintances with, have all said some teams in this draft do not like Sewell as much as the media and fans do.

With 32 different teams and each team having 6-15 scouts, it is not crazy to be able to find plenty of varying opinions on players. I actually know there is one team who wouldn't take Lawrence as the 1st QB off the board. There are very few consensus picks good or bad in the draft, it's why it's such a crap shoot.
