Can We Win With Our Small Scouting Department?

[THE PISTONS]

But the real explanation is that the player personnel department is a catch all that includes staff who also manage and maintain current players on a Team as well.

But they are also used in the pre-draft process. Evaluating and conducting physicals of players who are not invited to combine, conducting background checks, etc.

Where more staff helps the most in the process is late rounds and FA signings.

The Steelers have 19 people in theirs. It just seems that EVERY team in the NFL does things one way. Yet, the Bengals are dead set on doing things their way.

Why not increase?

Supposedly Coughlin wanted the Bengals to hire more scouts for him to come here and questioned if he could win the way they ran things here. And they still largely run things the same way.
