    That's fair! Will depend on his Combine/Pro day stats to see for sure but I still like the value potentially at 3-4 PLUS a strong news story.

      So here’s a question:

      Your process has you do your initial review in week 1. But nothing special happens in scouting until like week 11 or whatever. Is there any reason you can think of that you couldn’t wait until week 11 to do your initial draft class analysis?

        From my point of view, it's best done in week 1 to give you the best chance of optimising your scout assignments

            Week 1 is the last week you can fire and hire your scouts. It is also the only week you get any access to all the draft class AND able to move staffers around. It is absolutely essential to do all your scouting info week 1 and no later so that for week 2-3 you can properly focus scout where each scout goes.

              No problem!! While it is a slightly tedious process, this method should get you the best players possible for your team. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

                About to do my next live offseason. Lost the SB to the Chiefs giving up like 41 pts despite being the top rated defense. Will have to improves defensively from here.

                  Can you go into more detail about how you spot normal dev players vs star or better players? just don't want to find a few solid ratings only to get normal dev in my 32 man leagues. also I have no idea how to spot devs lol

                    Can you add guys to your favorites list after week one and have them get scouted, or does the new system lock you in at week one to whomever you chose to favorite at that point?

                      You can add to your favorites list at any time, but of course you want the players who you want to get heavy scouting to be on the favorites list when you make the choice to lock in on those players.

                        It's all combine and pro days. You should be favoriting most players with ELITE ability before you see those 2 stats. Anyone with red flag abilities otherwise should not be considered. IN general, it's not that difficult to find these players bc at least one of the pro/combine OR ratings OR athletic skills will show if a player is a hidden development player or not.

                          I've found that QBs are the hardest to scout. I looked back at the draft after the fact (I didn't need a QB but tracked them closely for future reference) and found that the Great/Elite method and Combine/Pro day results weren't as clear cut in predicting development.

                          Is there something you all have noticed that helps?

                            The good news is, QBs are probably the position where the OVR matters least, since so much of it is up to your joystick skills. They are also one of the easiest to “level up”.

                              Arm Strength: Elite ideally

                              And then if I NEED a QB I'm using that for my 3 coach scout and possibly as a 3 focused scout too.

                              Only thins I look for are short, medium, long accuracy but if I see some F's at like "injury" or something I'll eliminate them too.

                              Really you're just banking on getting lucky getting those ratings. I also think stories come into play too as tiebreakers, esp. if a QB wins heisman.

                                Myself and the mysterious "Fraser" are working on a scouting spreadsheet and currently are working through the grade thresholds by position.

                                It will include:
                                • input free info for all players in class (dims, grades, traits etc)
                                • provides a "physical" score based off pre combine info
                                • provides estimated player profile based off pre combine info
                                • creates a rough valuation score based on all the info input
                                • calc that tells you based on valuation above and projected draft position if they're a reach, bust, good or poor pick if taken there.
                                • ability to plan your scouting and tell you what % you will be at.
                                • ability to assess strength of the draft class per group & position per draft stage.
                                • place to write notes and keep stories
                                • filters and sorting ability for all information, includes automatic modern position groups OL, DL, Edge, LB and DB.
                                • set your own draft board & subboards and record when a player has been taken mid draft for your filters
                                • space to write archetype or predict it and it'll tell you the likely top3 attributes


                                Is there anything else based on scouting and drafting so far that would be useful?
                                I'm extremely interested in seeing this. Is this done?
