Suggestion
Have a "scouting director" rather than individual scouts, but limit the number of activities that can be performed at a time.
Reason
Having to click between scouts is pointlessly cumbersome, no matter how many automated features there are related to it. It is impossible to get a full picture of the league in one snapshot because different scouts have looked at different things. I think the scouting director option is better than using averages of multiple scouts because it streamlines the scouting process and simplifies it without dumbing things down. It creates less micromanagement for basically the same amount of information.
Priority
High, but long-term. I don't think the current scouting system works that well, but considering the effort the overhaul would take, I think it should be counted as something that is not necessarily going to get fixed right away.

I LOVE this idea.
It would make things much less cumbersome in terms of scouting, but still give you the ability to perform multiple scouting tasks at the same time.
You could have a simple dropdown or check box interface to select what you want your Scouting Director to have his "Staff" doing. For example you could say, "OK this week I want your staff to scout our upcoming opponent and Teams A, B and C."
To add to this idea, you could have a scouting budget. The more money you allocate towards your scouting department, the more tasks they could perform simultaneously. A higher budget could also shorten the amount of time it takes to perform these tasks.
