Yes, very much so. You may find this post by Markus helpful in clearing up confusion. It's good information to know; however, the way it is right now scouts seem almost useless for the draft. They're so pessimistic on every player (particularly those favoring ability) that it's nearly impossible to differentiate between players since everyone is getting equally awful reports. Here's another thread that may be interesting reading for you.
