Some of those have been like low 70s for me, but always normal dev. Just thinking you could save probably half your time if you’re crunched for time and skipped all of the UDFAs, since about half the prospect list are UDFAs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've honestly never looked at UDFA for time purposes other than a guy in a news article falling and no they weren't good.

The 1.5 hours or so does not include UDFA's, only day 3 and higher.

In week 1, without really looking through the players in each region, I assigned my Northeast scout to focus on CBs because "CB" was the top strength of the region. There was one day 1 CB that went in the top 5 picks, and the other handful of CBs in that region were Day 3 or undrafted guys. My resources would have been better spent sending that scout to a region that had a small handful of guys rated Round 1 or Day 2 guys and if I felt like I had a shot at that top guy I could have just made him a focus player.

I totally ignore the region breakdown. The location focus is only useful knowing which players you plan on targeting and ideally 2-3 of them are in the same location like with my LOLB example above.

Speaking of UDFAs, I just thought I’d share this amusing anecdote. In my new season, I just got to the first mock draft, where they have me drafting . . . a UDFA FB!!

I can’t help but laugh at how back the mock drafts are. It’s like they just said “find the lowest current OVR starter on the team and have them pick that.”

Pretty sure the mock drafts take your favorites list into account - if you use it make sure it's organized

Yeah I think so too. And the times I’ve seen them say someone’s who listed as Day 3 they have been a steal
