You can run through a laundry list of 1st round picks in the pre "only tape" era that had every team in the league on campus checking into them and they turned out to be complete busts from a character/work ethic/ etc. stand point.
All teams go to the major pro days and you can do your onsite "investigating" then versus in season because you are going to get the same dog and pony show as you would mid season. This article was just referencing the scouts specifically during season.
I don't think you would necessarily get the same answers at the pro day as you will mid-season.
Pro Days everyone's going to be pumping their guys. It's a sales exhibition. You're more likely to get the quality information mid-season when there aren't so many scouts/NFL execs hanging around, you can spend longer talking with people and build a better relationship, get them to speak more candidly.
I suppose the question is whether you want to leave any stone unturned.
