thom, could it be something as simple as that new scouting wrinkle, favor tools vs. favor ability?

I know from my own experience that a scout who highly favors ability hates just about everybody in the amateur draft. I like this guy because he's blue numbers across the board and is lights out in judging established talent but he's useless for the draft. Recently, I have been ignoring him and using OSA and college stats for the draft with better results.

Could you have the reverse situation in that your guy highly favors tools?
