The Bengals Switched Scouting Practices in 2015

[jj22]

I disagree with those who say there's no point anymore. Not that I agree or disagree with the expense of it all. In person you can see how they are interacting with coaches/players not on camera. See them warm up and practice before the game. Talk to coaches. Hear the ball get caught to get an idea of QB arm strength. Interact with other scouts before teams go silent in preparation for the draft.

I think there's some pros for scouting in person.
