Maybe Vinny Cerrato isn't the Anti-Christ

I've never understood the structure of the scouting department and what their actual duties are. In other words, how many scouts are there total?

-- Is one scout sent out at a time to look at one game and evaluate everybody who plays in that game on both teams?

-- Do they assign scouts to various positions -- like a group of scouts looks at all the offensive linemen, another group looks at linebackers and so on.

-- Is there anything like assigning scouts to a particular region around the country? For instance, a scouting department is assigned to the southwest, the northeast, midwest, that sort of thing. Or maybe they could be devoted to college divisions and conferences like Mountain West, Pac-10, Conference USA?

With all the money Danny Warbucks has, you'd think he could flood the country with scouts -- get the best scouts money can buy. There's no salary cap with those guys, we know that.
