Should the Senior Bowl or the Combine Workouts Matter?

well, it might all be good for getting a general feel for a guy's character and his physical characteristics. All that stuff also benefits the guys that aren't top 10 way more than the guys one sees every night on sports center. It gives scouts a chance to see guys that maybe don't have as much tape of their play, especially late bloomers and d3-d1aa guys

I suppose that these things just provide another small piece in the jigsaw for NFL teams trying to evaluate individual players. An outstandingly good, or bad, performance at the Senior Bowl or Combine can impact a rating. It must be a really tough job trying to pick in the draft as everyone will second guess almost every selection and a proper assessment can't be made for at least a couple of seasons.

Still, for my money it must be one of the most exciting parts of being involved in an NFL team - the chance to unearth talent that others didn't spot. Some teams definitely seem to be better than others at it.

Sadly, we don't know if the Redskins are any good or not as they always trade away top picks for crap veterans. I pray that they don't do that this time...
